This falls into the same problem Nintendo has. They are dependent on their consoles to make or break the companies at this point.

Sony will be OK, as the PS4 will be very successful this next 12-18 months for sure.

The difference being that Sony had to sell their two largest office buildings for about $2 Billion so that they could afford to launch the PS4 and Nintendo is sitting on about $14 Billion in cash.  If the PS4 does as well as the PS3 and the Wii U only does as well as the Gamecube, unless something big was to happen, Nintendo would still be sitting in a much healthier financial position.  If the Wii U stopped selling today and Nintendo re-structured, they would still be better off than Sony is. 

Sony has more cash on bank than Nintendo. Also, you got no reason whatsoever to believe the sell-off of those buildings had anything to do with SCE, so I'm going to attribute that one to a failed attempt at flaming.

In fact, if SCE wanted money in hand to manufacture the PS4, they probably would be better off doing a low-risk, short-term loan than begging the parent company for the entire sum they made on these sell-offs.
