Should we be worried about SOE being sold?

If you're worried after this sale, then be worried about Sony's financials in general. This sale doesn't mean all that much to them right now. They'll miss some revenue in the future, but there's no telling whether their financial issues were hampering SOE or not anyway. The returns their future games bring now, might not be the same as they would have been with Sony (ignoring the obvious potential added Xbone revenue).

Or/instead increased the cmos production capacity by 20,000 units more a month /plant

Which many smartphone and tablet and HDR cameras that use these Sony made sensors inside the hardware they sell. @ almost $18.00 /sensor sample even with reduction for mass order, every 3 month Apple and Samsung will be ordering a ton of those sensors to put in their devices. And Sony may be looking at this as better returns over the returns that may or may not happen for such software esp. When under Sony it was all free 2 play. And the fact it going to another company means that Sony does not have the overhead to deal with for a Mainly only "Pc development" studio and instean now still get's to have those very same games on playstation console's without having to fit the bill.

Pretty much hit the nail on the head.  If Sony is investing almost a billion into those sensors they must have those lucrative contracts nailed down for the foreseeable future.
