Gaming doesn't bring in enough profit to even matter. Sony is in financial ruin and everyone knows it. That's fact. Where they go from here is anyone's guess. But just because the picture isn't rosy doesn't mean the article is dumb.

Nahhh, the article is pretty dumb for the most part seeing as how the journalist didn't know that Sony wasn't living on playstation but you are right about the picture not being rosy ... 

What part did you find dumb?

The fact that this article states and argues that playstation is the only thing Sony has left is in itself is dumb seeing as how any idiots will tell you that it's their insurance division thats keeping Sony alive. The article is mostly null and void for the most part seeing as how it has an obvious hole in it.

I got ya. I skimmed through the article, didn't really get that vibe. The fact is though, gaming is a very small part of Sony's business. You know that obviously, as you've said, they are mostly an insurance company.

The other thing to factor in though, is Japans economic health..which is not good at all. I took the article to mean basically that, they were wondering which sector would/will save Sony? Sony's debt is massive, and gaming is a volitile business.

Also, remember why Sony entered gaming in the first place, to take over the living room. Times have changed, and that no longer seems to be a viable endeavor. Why stay? This is why I feel M$ is being pressured to exit gaming also.
