False, their insurance division is enormous, it's usually the biggest profit generator at Sony, Movies have been doing well, Mobiles are actually a physical profit generator, recently Imaging Sensors saw a big rise and Sony are investing further there. Sony are one of the biggest Semi Conductor producers.
Tablets and their electrical divisions also do pretty well.
The whole $1200 Walkman thing was targeted at Audiophile Lovers, it's a niche product, that will probably sell well to it's target market and will generate good profit, it's not intended to be the next Ipod, Sony has other, cheaper music players too which sell well.
