Hmm, I thought they discarded his proposal as soon as he said it... It's a good move short term.

The Japanese are typically resistent to such moves, so it'll be interesting if they actually go through with it.

And yeah, it is strongly argued that it's great for investors, but it would be bad for Sony.

The parts of Sony that are struggling might falter without the rest of Sony to rely on.  It also begs the question, what would you do with the gaming division?  Do you split them off from the electronics and keep them with the entertainment group, or do you split the team in two down the line of entertainment (games/software) and electronics?

Now? Hell no. Sony's gaming division has, well, not done too well up until lately because of the launch of the PS3. A new gen is here, with it, a new launch. PS4 will be better for them financially than the PS3 but the gaming division could again be seeing red for the next few years.
