They need to get their other devices and entertainment segments into the PlayStation ecosystem ASAP, to turn around sales, start making profits, and increase the value and importance of their OS and Store. Smartphones continue to decrease while they continue to tack on the $5+ Billion in losses they have obtained since killing Vita and focusing half assed efforts on Xperia. They are now forecasting 9 Million Xperias sold for the year, while losses double to 30bln Yen. Their other Google charity program, the display and sound segment is forecasting sales to decrease another million units this year, while profits remain flat (highly unlikely, expect them to fall). There are no words for the level of incompetence going on at the top, and the rest of the divisions outside of PlayStation. They could be succeeding in every division if they would just work as a team, and focus on improving Sony. No more internal battles, no more divisions using competitors software and storefronts. Just one Sony working to deliver the best Sony expereince possible.

I actually think thats a bad idea.
I believe an even more radical approach is better. They need to downsize every part of their company, such that every individual part is profitable. They cannot and should never resort to binding other less successful divisions to a more popular one.
Ther are companys (looking at you onePlus) that do well and are on their own smaller than sony. The Oneplus business model is proof that sony should be able to turn their smartphone business around but they just keep making teh wrong design choices all while having great internal hardware.
Its hightime sony actually invested intheir own TV tech. Be it Oled or MLED. Whatever, they dropped the ball when they opted to just aquire panels from other companies.
