Soooo they are now selling actual divisions of their company to stay profitable?

They're selling off unprofitable divisions. Kind of smart actually. Now they just need to get rid of their TV line. 

As an electronics company, it is a sign of weakness instead of trying to rejuvinate it. The TV line too. Selling off buildings is one thing, but cutting off your own limbs is a slippery slope.

samsung didn't get big selling a bunch of products at once. They capitalized on phones, then moved into other areas.

Conversely, Sony has several bad product lines. They cannot rejeuvenate all of them at once. They focus on one thing, they'll continue going through hell with the others. The best business sense says to sell both tvs and PC. Especially in a slowing pc market, this was actually quite good for them.
