No, they are not broke. They don't make tons of money from their TV divison like that used to in the 90's and before, but they still make profit from TV's. The reason is, because they make high-quality TV's that most people don't care about. Sony's high-end TV have the best black levels, clearest picture (it doesn't matter if it's in a bright room or a dim room), and good durability.
The thing about getting a TV these days is, people just want to get a big TV. And the average Joe's don't care too much about picture quality. In Japan, the mentality is to ask "Is the quality better?", Japanese people don't care really much about bigger size (in fact they love things in small size). But out side of Japan, most people use to think that "Bigger is better". That's how they lost their share in the TV market, they focus on making TV's with good picture quality instead of cheaper TV with big screen.
