But do you think they'll find a seller willing to pay a good enough price to make it worth it, due to those exact reasons you just listed?

Buyer?  Just close them or spin them off and let them live or die as they pretty much have with TV.  If sony mobile was totally stand alone it would close wihin a year.

Scroll down to page 3 (page numbers are in the bottom right corner), all figures are in Billion Yen unless stated otherwise so you have to convert them to USD.

Yeah people forget how big the potential for movies is.  Gaming may be dominating now but that doesn't mean it will always be bigger than movies. 

The way sony pictures is being run now it means exaclty that.  Its a bit of a mess to say the least.

Definitely badly run.  Could easily be turned around but the way it's been run you never know.  They're lucky Playstation has picked up the slack.

I hope they do combine them. Its a good way to hide a piece of the business that isn't doing so hot. Its like when they tied in Vita numbers with PSP and PS3 numbers.

I think you are misguided about which state Sony Pictures actually are in financially...

So they had a bad couple of years. They can easily turn it around with a couple good movies. Problem is that they are pulling out stuff like Pixels, Ghostbusters, The Barbie Movie etc.

No, I mean that they aren't in a rough shape financially at all.
