True enough. I'd say that's pretty likely.
Honestly? On the whole, the game division of Sony is fine enough. The Vita isn't lighting fires and the PS3 is a touch pokey right now compared to what they really want, but it's not doing too bad at all. However, to put it bluntly, Sony's game division means very little compared to the monster divisions they have, some of which are performing as well as a sieve used as a boat or just not profiting enough to make a huge difference. A previous article (trying to remember where I found it) said that they were hoping for the game division to profit by a billion dollars within the next while. That's well and good and could be achievable if things roll right. But their total revenue they pull in is around 80 billion dollars a year.
I'm actually figuring they might have pulled back into the black on the gaming division after the 50 million loss last quarter, but I'm holding my breath on a full quarter that isn't a loss. That TV division, amongst a few others, is an albatross around their necks until they fix it.
