Cutting the fat

Good. Who owns a Sony PC anyway?

RIP Vaio

Poor Sony

Too bad considering Vaio's are the best Windows laptops.

Good, I had a song Vaio and the hard drive crashed, along with the headphone jack being flimsy and the buttons above the speakers not working

Wow. 73x bigger loss than Nintendo

Mess, 5000 people losing their jobs is not a good thing

#oops at 73x bigger.

Sony would've been profitting this year if not for the sell out of the PC business and TV spin off. Restructuring isn't free. Lemme educate you with Business Admin 101, sis.

Meanwhile, PS4 has filed a 68% boost on Sony's gaming division and Sony profitting from last quarter. When will Wii U?

Vaio's were some of the best Windows laptops for a while, they just lost their edge over the past few years. Plus they were never advertised lately, seems like they just lost interest and focused on their gaming market.

Yikes. Poor Sony. Hopefully they get back on their feet.

The spin some of you are putting on this though.

Cutting 5,000 jobs AND losing two major divisions is never good. If Sony has to cut anymore, they'll be like Nintendo, gaming being their priority. The value of their stocks and company will tank since they don't have valuable IPs like Nintendo. This isn't a good sign for Sony at all. One good property (PS4) isn't going to save them long term. They need some major reconstruction as a brand and company.

Restructuring will help. The PC business in general is dying because of smartphones. It'll only mean Sony is going to stop hemorrhagging money from investing on projects that aren't making any profit.

Dead at the report tag. Here's the salt, y'all.

Is this why my order is taking so long?

There is still time to cancel and buy a MacBook.

TV isn't being sold, it's still there, just being spin off.

And mess at you trying to spin things when Sony has profitted this Q3. The only reason they are taking a loss this year is because of the restructuring side of things and the whole R&D cost.

2014 isn't going to be the same thing. Spiderman is coming. PS4 will dominate. Xperia coming for third place. The money leeches off Sony's back(PC and TV).

The only bad sign that coming right now is that Sony's not playing anymore.

The PS4 deserves it. It also deserves some games.

The XB1 & PS4 both have 1 shelf each in nearly every store I go into (two if they have excess stock).
The Wii U still has less (and cheaper games) than the Wii

New Super Mario Bros. U is like $69 and New Super Mario Bros. Wii is still $99.

I hear the Xbone has 900k consoles left unsold and sitting on the shelves.
