In addition to that; when they rearranged their divisions, soon after the current COO took over, they merged the gaming division with one of the divisions that was loosing the most money. (Most companys would cut that division.)
In a nut shell Sony is suffering from the same mistakes that nearly killed off General Motors in the US. (Accually if it wasn't for the US government it would of) Too many divisions loosing money, too many products that were essentially the same, and the company being too worried about its perception in the market not to cut the divisions that are killing them.
If you want examplet of a company that did the opposite of the first that comes to mind would be Ford. They cut three of their division not making as much money (Jaguar, Volvo, Astin Mertin), sold most of the managment perks (The CEO changed his salery to $1, he still made a lot of money from his stocks etc) And when the government was handing out money to bail out the US car market Ford was the only one who didn't take a dime because they were profitable.
EDIT: I really souldn't post when I'm this tired.
