I can see why they want to sell off their PC business, but I wouldn't call this a good sign for Sony. No business really wants to shrink. The best course would be to make the divisionn profitable again, but the PC market is declining and I'm sure Sony just wants out.
Quite sad really, Sony used to be a "go to" brand, now its just the PS4 company. |
Indeed.
The PC market is in decline across the board, with one sole exception. - The PC gaming market and other facets that rely on that market, which is still seeing large growth.
However with that in mind, even though the PC market is in decline it is still shifting 300 million or more units per year, if Sony cannot or is not willing to compete for some of that pie, well. That's their own failure, lenovo for instance has been capturing marketshare and posting continued growth at the expensive of it's competitors who failed to innovate and be competitive on multiple fronts.
Sony *could* have been in a similar position, it's really their own fault.

Lenovo is chinese, they can get away with paying their workers waaay less money. And they don't innovate, they simply erode the prices so that it's unprofitable for others to compete in that market.
