I don't want this to become a flame war, and there's no reason for this thread to live longer than 2 posts.
Anyway, it is very clear that Sony has lost a LOT of money since 2000. They went from being worth something to the tune of $100 billion to $18 billion. That is a MASSIVE loss of value in... not that long of a time. They didn't exactly become worthless overnight like some companies did recently, but somewhere in Sony a LOT of money is being hemorrhaged,
Before anyone says anything stupid, we already know its NOT SCE that's the problem The PS3 so far has been a net loss for them, but NOT LIKE THIS. Since 2000 SCE has, in spite of PS3's losses, still retained a cumulative profit. That means that $82 billion has been and is being lost somewhere else in Sony.
My question for you is, who is losing this money? Who is losing the most money?
At this point I'm tempted to say that Sony should cut everything in their company except SCE. Their videogame division is apparently the only thing that is producing a profit for them. I'm willing to give their TV's a chance since they have a couple of interesting products coming out, but if that fails, they should go VG only like Nintendo. At least that way they won't have a deficit.
Actually, let me establish a rule for this thread. Your post isn't allowed to be longer than 1-3 words. "Cell Phones" works as an answer.
