Can Sony ever return to prominence?

I think they need to kill off some divisions, forget TVs and Tablets. Focus on Movies, Music, laptops. Playstation and some other smaller divisions. Connect all your devices, unify your software like Microsoft is starting to do. Get your marketing teams shit together and although this is far easier said than done, innovate. Don't spend billions on tech that clearly doesn't have any realistic potential, Blu-ray was a good investment, T3H C3LL, however godly it may be, wasn't.

All this boils down to is Sony needing smarter management, and seeing how Kaz (peace be upon him) turned around Playstation 3 after it's shitty launch I think he's got a good chance of turning the company as a whole around.

Forget tablets? The tablet market is in its infancy and it will grow a shitload in the next 5 years. If they can even get a small slice of that market, then that is what they should be focusing on, rather than laptops. It was the same story with smartphones, in that Sony only had a late, half-assed attempt, when they should be going all in. They need to realise that in the future, laptops = tablets & handheld gaming = smartphones.
