| MoHasanie said: Good that they made a profit, although that forecasted loss is terrible. Panasonic also announced similar sized profits, so perhaps Japanese electronic companies will begin to do better from now on. |
Splitting the TV bussiness is the last step before shutdown. It's a large division and, unlike the PC division, nobody would buy a TV division to enter a crowded market (and it's more expensive than PC division too). They can't just ditch it, at least while they still have options to save the division. They tried to do it with the division for some years, now they split it to make it more independent. If it succeeds, it will stay this way. If it won't, it will be way easier to put an end with it out of the main company.
