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.

the PC buisness as the whole is going down

There is a reason they call it the post PC world now

 

there are so many operating systems now coming out - ChromeOS,FirefoxOS,AndroidOS,WindowsOS,MacOS,LinuxOS

 

they can restart a new PC buisness with ChromeOS or AndroidOS in the future and still get the $400-500million they are getting from this deal

 

If you see the PC numbers,the sales are down all along - DELL,HP,SONY,APPLE MAC,etc

 

and as people are moving towards unified software ecosystems

MICROSOFT - Windows on Phone,Xbox,PC,Tablet

Apple - OSX and iOS on MAC,AppleTV,iPhone,iPad

Samsung - Upcoming BADA OS for their unified system on Galaxy Phone,Galaxy Tablet,SMART TV and probably computers

Google - Android and CHROME OS on PHONE,TABLET,PC,CHROMECAST

SONY - SONY ENTERTAINMENT NETWORK on PLAYSTATION,BRAVIA,XPERIA PHONE,XPERIA TABLET and probably computers
