There is no guarantee that PlayStation 4 would survive Sony's destruction.

In general, large companies have trouble acting rationally because there is no market for internally exchanged goods and services. With no markets, and no market prices, there is no telling whether a given internal exchange generates financial gains or losses. If the company is liquidated and if the PS4 division is laid bare, then it is possible that it will be exposed as an engine of financial destruction that was propped up by other parts of the company.

My prediction is that the Bank of Japan will prop up all of Sony, ultimately ending in a hyperinflationary depression in Japan and a total, catastrophic collapse of the Yen.
