Sony says enough is enough, to cut 5,000 jobs, split off PC, TV operations

Wow, didn't expect that. I thought the TV division would be vital to their unified content network and especially PSNow.

I'm guessing psnow will still be a service, similar to netflix.

Hell, it's probably Sony's big pitch.

 

If I were a predictions guy I would guess that Sony makes Bravia it's own company while promising exclusive integrated Sonynow to investors.

They pick up investors and use the profits from the stock sales to improve the bottom line and reinvest in the company, while throwing some into Bravia.

It would be the loeb plan in reverse... and dare i say... it's a better plan.

That way if the TV division blows up anyway, Sony's hands are clean, outside a possible PR kerfluffle.
