If I were Sony...

- I would sell the TV division (use that money to pay debt)
- I would sell the camera-division (use that money to pay debt)
- I would sell the audio-stuff/ BluRay-players etc. (use that money to pay the debt)
- I would kill the Vita
- I would create a unique tablet for Windows 8
- I would keep investing in smartphones
- I would make Playstation / smartphone / tablet benefit each other
- I would make a deal with Samsung / LG that their TVs will be bundled with a PS4 at launch
- I would keep the movie studio and sell some parts of the music business.
- I would try to get a stand in the medical business

So Sony would get a lot of cash to pay some of the debts. They would have 3 product lines for consumers and that is it. Playstation, smartphone and tablet. They would have a real focus then. The other stuff is only for content (music / movies / games). Then I would try to expand Gaikai on Samsung, LG and Sharp Smart TVs. This should be included in their tablets, playstation and smartphone as well.

The medical business would be someting else and needs to grow sustainably and NOT rushed.

That would be a start.

- Their camera division is one of their most successful divisions.
- Killing the Vita = Horrible long term effects. We also have no clue the system is really a financial burden or if the weak postings from the gaming division is caused by R&D ramping up.
- Making Playstation/Smartphones/Tablets benefit each other has been an ongoing process. You haven't been keeping up with things.
- PS3 bundled with competitor TV's wouldn't work. I say this because it's cheap to bundle your systems with your tv's, I can't imagine it being cheap with someone elses. 

Killing the Vita 

ok why the hell would Sony go and do something like that when the trends in gameing forward are mobile devices connected to Hubs?

you do not think for one second that Sony would not put the PSVita inside the package with the PS3 and sell it as a bundle. you do not think thats what they are intending to do anyway, with their recent moves of cross buy, cross play, PSN+ access for both platforms and Mobile devices like the playstation Mobile platform.?

The fact that not every where in the market is Sony loosing money on every PSVita sold. and a bundle PSVita+PS3 for $399.00 you do not see that being made ?

when the trends are MOBILE HANDHELDS CONNECTED TO HUBS IS WHAT IS MOVING FORWARD NOT JUST BECAUSE OF NINTENDO is doing it, BECAUSE EVERYONE WAS MOVING TOWARD THAT VERY SAME THING anyway!
