"Sony also said it will split its TV division off into a separate company by July 2014."

So does that mean that Sony will own the company that will be making the Vaio TVs or that they are selling them to a different company?

Sony seems to fire people every quarter almost. Is this a stable company?

Yeah, baby! Let's make it profitable.

Vaio is their PC brand, their TV brand is Bravia and yes, that initially will be a 100% daughter of Sony

That road will be long and painful for Sony, just by selling the PC division and doing changes to the TV division won't make it start getting profits right away. As stated by Sony, a 1 billion dollar loss this year, and we don't know if that will continue for more years.

OT: I think Sony's reports can be summarize like this: Amazing for gaming division, PCs and TVs going to hell and the rest just ok.

Heh, I knew that. I'm not sure why I said Vaio instead of Bravia though >_<

You know I'm not entirely sure how seperating their TV line into a different company will make it profitable though.

That's what I'm thinking as well...need an expert to explain this to me.

Well, in my opinion it's more of a sign to investors that the division can easily be sold off, if it continues to post bad results and might make things easier for potential buyers. Additionally it could "motivate" the Bravia management to improve the recovery efforts.

Maybe it enables the cancellation of some old contracts with employees or supplers aswell, but I'm not sure about that one.

About time. They should be focusing more on tablets and phones as that's where the future is headed.

Though it is a shame because they really did (imo) make the best T.V's.

probably, and also easier to file backrupcy fo just a daughter
