Even if they did all that, debt doesn't magically disappear because they sold their TV division. They will have to pay off their debts. Also, "axing" the TV division isn't as simple as people think. The TV division is dear to Sony, it's the central pillar of their company heritage, it would be like Nintendo giving up on consoles entirely or Honda giving up on automobiles. There may be an argument for it, but it's not as simple of decision as you think. It would be an extremely painful loss of morale for Sony and end of an era.

Not so true anymore when Kaz took over he stated there 3 core pillars were Gaming, Mobile and Digital Imaging, these are the 3 things that they will concentrate on to make them money, other things like TV will be reduced or gotten rid of. Like the already are doing.

He can say that, but people need to understand one of the main reasons Sony has taken so long to do this is because the TV division at Sony is simply not just any division. Beyond that I don't think a lot of people here understand the corporate politics of a Japanese company, particularly one as old as Sony.
