Sony is delighted due to PlayStation’s performance recently, with the PS4 selling more than 7 million consoles worldwide since its launch last year. However, it is a completely different story for Sony.

If Sony sold ps it would die a painful death, which would be really sad, I not sure I would buy anything ps again if that happened.

Sony is going through a restructure Most companies went through these times and i dont think a company like Sony with huge experience to go out of business .
its the biggest Japanese technology company , i would be a little afraid about microsoft because they lack the experience they always been successful never faced tough times like lets say apple , IBM and other companies

no this is Sony 3rd (at least the second) restructuring if I'm not mistaken... they are at the point where most companies who restructure start showing signs of full recovery. I'd search for the article that talks about that, but right now getting ready for work

i am Sorry man but this is the real deal .
you confused lay offs with restructuring yes they had layoffs in the past but restructuring means getting into or dropping from businesses and this is their first restructure and it seems to take the solgan of one united Sony where all departments help each other

You never thought there would be an alternative to a windows PC, Internet Explorer and many other things.... These companies took it for granted they would always be there...... Look at Blackberry too, they owned the business market. Sony took the Sony name for granted too, assuming people would not even look at other brands. By the time they realised what was happening, they were demolished. Couple that with the world recession, which hit Japan and the Yen really hard, was like a perfect storm. Its bitter sweet that when people now think of Sony, they think Playstation, nothing else really, apart from those diehards here who claim to buy everything Sony.

look people... if you want to keep your heads in the sand that's fine. I understand with your favorite company floundering for the past decade that you would want to look at only the positive light. They didn't hire a foreigner to take over their company for sheets and giggles. Sony should be on it's way to profitability and that's not happened yet. Then they moved Kaz up because he was able to turn around the floundering PS3 into a successful business and where hoping he would be able to do the same thing with the rest of Sony. Things are not going as planned.

Looks like their film and tv divisions continue to post loss after loss.

tv or camera division will go before the playstation division as well as the cellphone division but i hope not because the xperia z2 seems to compete with iphone and samsung galaxy.

I hope the camera don't go. They make some awesome ones.

Though as far as I know (which isn;t much), PS, Phones and Cameras are the ones making them money?

SONY is dying slowly and painfully, I mean they got nothing else to give , they're doing remakes of movies that make no sense like spiderman , Godzilla etc etc they don't have the computer department anymore, electronics are going down quicky cause too expensive, cell phones? just cant compete with giants like apple and Samsung, all they have is ps4 and vita and vita just plain sucks, even in that department they are loosing designers and producers , every year since 2006 have being loosing a billion or two, that's not a good sign

how does Vita Suck? sure it has not got the software it should but it is an amazing piece of hardware! and Tbh i regret buying the Galaxy note 3, especially when i look at the beauty of Z2 and M8. i think this time around the Z2 is going to sell a good 20 million!

Even HTC is doing better on that department I have the new htc m8 and its just amazing it has the wow factor, the VITA is like the KINECT, they both have great potential but no one knows how to use it. and the Z2 its (imo) overpriced.

Z2 overpriced ????? its $699.99 CAD +30.00 if you want to add 64gb micro sd card. 2 year plan is $179.99 CAD. few years ago 179.99 was for a 3 year plan. 64gb iphone 5S is almost $1000.00 CAD. galaxy s5 is 229.00 on a 2 year. so how is it overpriced. z2 has double the specs of the iphone 5s and double the storage capacity, and it has 1gb more system memory than the s5. yet the xperia z2 is still the cheapest. do some research before you make up you're mind.

sony xperia Z2
2.3GHZ quad core snapdragon 801 processor
3GB's of ram
up to 128gb micro sd card + 16gb on board memory
camera: 20.7 MP, 5248 х 3936 pixels, 4k 30FPS video recording, 2.2 mp front camera
5.2 inch 1080p screen
IP58 certified - dust proof and water resistant over 1 meter and 30 minutes
has the cool front firing noise cancelling speaker technology
3200 mAh battery

htc m8 is nothing special pretty much similar specs as the S5, doesnt even have water and dust proof capability's( should be a standard feature at this point ). has small battery and 1gb less ram, no 4k recording, not to mention the m8 is the same price as the Z2, and with a plan its 229.99 for 2 years. so you're going to pay more for a phone that has no dust proofing and water proofing , no 4k,no 20.7 mp camera, 1gb less memory, 2600 mAh battery, .2 inch smaller screen

with those specs the Z2 is absolutely not overpriced.
