Luckily for Sony, multiple big box retailers (especially electronic ones) are out of business, in the process of going out of business or are in dire straights.

And that will help Sony in which way?

Sony can focus on their own branded stores where shelf space is not an issue (for hardware), focus on digital where margins are better for software.

Sony right now doesn't have the branding power it had ten years ago, they can't survive with only its branded stores. Samsung is starting to make their own stores, and has a much stronger branding power right now. Sony can't be an Apple, at least not in the short-medium timeframe.
