Hopefully they'll turn this around. I don't want Apple to take their place a few years from now!

Samsung seems more likely to take up Sony's place, if that hasn't happened already.

OT: One of the interesting things mentioned in the OP is the lack of collaboration between Sony's different business. And it is a shame. The PS3 is very popular BluRay player among sites that review BD movies and TVs because it has better picture quality than most BD players. Why has no-one decided to pick up the necesary bits from the PS3 to launch a low-to-mid grade BD player that produces better picture quality than most if not all its competitors?

Or why haven't they launched an app for their consoles, smart TVs and/or smartphones that gives users early acces to singles or trailers from Sony's divisions a couple of weeks before their competitors? Or even give them the chance to rent or buy a digital copy of their last blockbuster earlier or cheaper than the competition?

Too many missed opportunities.
