You do realize that a large portion of Sony's assets are things like manufacturing facilities, patents, IP, and brands which they can't (realistically) afford to sell and stay in business ... Many of which are going to have unrealistic valuations compared to what they could be sold for on the market.
In movie, videogame and music copyrights alone Sony probably has tens of billions of dollars of assets; but they can only sell something that has a buyer and on the market they would probably only be able to get 1% to 10% of their book value for these assets.
