This makes a lot of since. PC is the one division that does not fit into the one Sony vision. TVs/Projectors, Receivers, Speakers, and PlayStation complete the home experiences. Phones, and Tablets cover the mobile business. I think those are the divisions Sony needs to focus on hardware wise, while continuing to dish out award winning content in the TV, Movie, Music, and Game industries.

Ok my bad, So then its a "confirmation" of weakness.

About time. Their laptops are far too expensive for something that is pretty average. It has now become impossible to compete with the Chinese and Taiwanese (Asus, Acer etc.,) manufacturers.that do pretty much the same laptops cheaper.

And the stocks are up 5.5% (or back to where they've been before the "junk" downgrade, I think) thanks to this

It definitely looks like a good thing to do, if they actually go through with it. No point in keeping a business that just doesn't make you money, especially if it's PCs which seems to be a shrinking market anyway.

You're not speaking of current events. You are coming to conclusions as a result of current events. This is more likely to be seen as a strength than a weakness. They will now lose less money.

you have to consider, the money is not in pcs anymore, it's being made with smart devices. they still produce those, so this move also says goodbye to a division that's most likely not profitable aaaanytime soon.

We've had a lot of confirmation over the years about why Sony is a weak company. Their credit rating dropped to junk, their stock prices reached a low of about 13 dollars when a decade ago they were in the 100's. No one was under the impression that Sony was doing well. A sign of weakness would've been when Sony posted a deficit for 5 years in a row, followed by a tiny profit in 2013. I'd like to hear what Kowenicki had to say about this (unfortunately he got banned), but I would assume that Sony stock holders would be happy with this move and Lenovo stockholders not so much.

Makes sense, they were basically running an assembly line for the hardware of other companies and trying to make a profit themselves using ridiculous prices.

They should just launch a dual-HDD PS4 and allow one HDD to make it run like a normal PS4 and the other HDD to make it run like a normal PC.

Ya seems people here like the news. Whatever keeps the PS business going strong.

Did anyone need a confirmation? You learnt nothing from the thousands of posts you've made here?
