Wouldn't spinning it off earn Sony some much needed cash which they could have used for something else like R&D? But oh well, knowing Sony, they would have lost that money gained too by investing it in something else that it isn't profitable. |
R & D with what? More T.V.s? Phones that aren't selling? Sony's tech is top of the line, and for the most part fairly priced. The only thing Sony could have invested more in would be advertising, and that may or may not have saved them. If they sold off media, they'd be stuck with dead divisions while their profitable divisions are making money for someone else (Which is what that investor wanted). That would have been guaranteed bankruptcy. Sony still has a chance to turn things around with media, as their games division is showing. That media potential's the only thing preventing investors from jumping ship in my opinion Though the focus on media should have been made 10 years ago, but I digress.
