consider the tech used in it. maybe it was a branch for them to walk out on, but I think it was a good gamble for them to take.
can't blame them. thats how you roll in the corporate world. I'll admit I'm a little upset with the way sony has handled their diversification (laptops and lcd's

), but its not an easy task. lets hope they learn from a few mistakes....
i agree they had to roll it out..but im just sayin it all lies on their shoulders right now...nothing is screwing them over but themselves
as for the diversification. its a common fact too much is not good. same is said in your money portfolio. corporations must diversify to survive but they have to stop at a certain point. Sony may have finally crossed that boundary and will need to rethink their mission goals before continuing any farther forward.
