Is it harder to be a Sony, Nintendo, or Microsoft fan?

Is it official they are spinning off TV's?  Cause that's what me, and most people from my gen think of a Sony's big thing.  It would be like pokimon killing off  pickachu.

Yeah its confirmed that they will make the TV division a seperate subsidiary by July 2014. I still don't see how its going to sort things though since spining it off will not make it profitable and it will still continue making huge loses but lets see if Hirai's plan works out. 

Well, it doesn't mean it will be profitable, but it will be off Sony's books (and the debt, operating cost, etc.)

Back in the day, Sony TV's were the thing.  I still thought it was awful with they did with VCR talks and Betamax.  It was like when Apple licensed all these 3rd parties to make 'Apple Clones' like IBM (aka PC Clones) and then sued them right before they came out.  Destroying all these businesses and jobs that had worked hard to try to give Apple computers a real chance in the market to compete with PC's. 

Karma can be a real tough slap sometimes.
