Anybody who think Sony will support Vita more is dreaming
PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m
Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m

I know. And the shareholders are dumb too for not putting pressure on the management to bring these changes earlier. There has only been one shareholder who constantly criticised Hirai and the other excecutives constantly and now he sold his stake since no one listened to what he wanted.
YES!!! FINALLY! PS is the best thing they have, focus on it! It has so much more to do.
Having few recognisable products with good margins seems the way many electronics companies have gone. Probably a good idea to focus on what works.

That shareholder also told Sony to spinoff it's media/gaming division and be stuck with the T.V. and electronics division. In other words, he wanted Sony to sell off what was profitable/potential and be stuck with the huge loss makers. That investor probably wanted to buy the media portion of Sony with other investors. Sony was right for not listenning to him.

Wouldn't spinning it off earn Sony some much needed cash which they could have used for something else like R&D? But oh well, knowing Sony, they would have lost that money gained too by investing it in something else that it isn't profitable.

R & D with what? More T.V.s? Phones that aren't selling? Sony's tech is top of the line, and for the most part fairly priced. The only thing Sony could have invested more in would be advertising, and that may or may not have saved them. If they sold off media, they'd be stuck with dead divisions while their profitable divisions are making money for someone else (Which is what that investor wanted). That would have been guaranteed bankruptcy. Sony still has a chance to turn things around with media, as their games division is showing. That media potential's the only thing preventing investors from jumping ship in my opinion Though the focus on media should have been made 10 years ago, but I digress.

Sony is no longer a market leader like it once was. Its scary that even 10 years ago, Sony was the leader globally in electronics. Now they are late to develop everything and are always trying to catch up with Samsung, Apple, and even some Chinese companies.
