As I said a while ago, if Sony business keeps going like this, it will become a much smaller company than it was a decade ago, they won't go into bankruptcy nor anything like that, but it will definitely be a smaller company, and that's never a good thing. 

A smaller, more profitable company is a lot better than a large one that can't make money. 

When you are THE biggest (or at least one of the biggest) electronic companies and you become smaller is a huge blow no matter how you look at it. In the long term, investors could lose confidence in the company. Making mistakes is A LOT more dangerous because you won't have other stuff to back yourself up. Less cash in reserve. In Sony´s case specifically, waaaaay too much debt which would be even more impossible to pay if they are smaller, you get the general idea.

They shrunk (or will shrink) by removing a non-profitable division but they didn't shrink on the divisions they are profitable on. So there is a difference and not everything is so bleak.

Besides keeping a non-profitable division where Sony has never been a leader on, would just push them further into bankruptcy. Then again their TV division bleeds more XD XD XD
