Thats $1 billion from sale....against $140 billion of liabilitities...less than 4% of their debt. Let's hope they have some serious windfall from the Yen.

Well im sure a company that is in the process of a turnaround will address its liability problem at some point, im sure you want nothing more for Sony to continue with its status quo and be bankrupt within 2 years.

As for the Yen windfall, Im sure Sony will benefit, they forcasted march 2013 earnings back in the summer of 2012 when the yen was at what 74? Its 90 now and will probably hit par sometime in the next two quarters.  At last check for each yen decrease against the dollar Sony get $25 -30 million in operating profit, so you are talking $420 million in dollar terms, dont even how much a gain will be in euros and that move is even greater, and they receive the majority of their sales there.

Your habit of saying I'm sure....is very indicative of your making too many assumptions.  I support Sony via TV purchases, HDAV purchase, PS3 purchase even though I only played one game on it.  You must be too busy defending Sony you are like a mad dog that will bite anyone that dares saying anything negative.  

Just to give you an example of your lack of understanding of Sony as a company:

Geographic Information
Sales and operating revenue (to external customers) 3 months Ended 9/30/2012

in Billions USD

Japan    $6.73.        China.           $1.80

US.         2.95.        Asia Pacific     2.45

Europe.   3.85.        Rest of World. 2.82

 

Europe comprises $3.85 billion out of $20.6 billion.  Sony does not receive a majority of its revenue there.  Please choke back on the "lecturing" tone.  You actually don't know what you are talking about.  Respect others a little more, don't just attack somebody because you don't like what is being said.
