Beyond cutting away their weak divisions, Sony could easily churn more from their movie division if they greenlit the proper projects. They've made a lot of poor decisions last year with movies like After Earth and White House Down. This year it's Robocop and Minuments Men.

Sony isn't selling its tv division. Or axing it. They're making it a wholly owned subsidiary. Meaning they own 100% of it and run it as a separate business. With its own financials. But is still owned by sony. 

                             World wide revenue                                                       budget
Robocop:                 $ 146.000.000 $ 100.000.000
After Earth:                 $ 243.800.000 $ 130.000.000
White House Down:  $ 205.000.000 $ 150.000.000

Still, it will be a minimum profit for After Earth/Robocop (Robocop is still in the cinema's).
White House Down, is even a lost. I don't expect millions  with the DVD/Blue-ray's sale. I am expecting some big numbers from The amazing Spider-man 2. 

Don't count your chickens before they are hatched.

There is a 50% chance that PSNow will be a financial disaster.

Macroaxis actually lowered their chances of Sony going bankrupt from 78% to 48%. I hope their restructuring works out.

Sony is never going to go bankrupt, the key is that they have lots of buildings out there to sell. Whenever things get too bad they just sell a building and bam, problem gone!

They sold a building, and then they bought a building. It's only 7 stories less. Sony doesn't need that much space.

Sony's end seems unavoidable.
Certainly the Sony as we know it now.

Besides, there is no bright plan that gives Sony a good prospect as a worldwide consumer electronics company.

How Sony is turning into a ghost in Japan and around the world

http://kotaku.com/5960411/how-sony-is-turning-into-a-ghost-in-japan-and-around-the-world

"For some people in Japan, Sony is already dead. The only question they have is how did Sony die, or who killed it, and how long will the spectre of Sony remain haunting Japan. It's a pessimistic view of the company but it's one reality in this island country."

At my parents house we've always only had Sony tv's. So do I now. They day Sony stops making tvs, is the day the old Sony is officially dead, no matter how you want to deny it. Maybe Sony can prosper in a much smaller form in other market segments, but that will be a different Sony.

That's true about PS4 making a better profit than PS2 off the bat. If I recall PS2 was sold a decent loss it's 1st year or 2.
