Is Sony About To ‘Double Down’ On PlayStation?
This morning brought surprising news out of Sony, they’ve sold their VAIO and PC arm. Well, maybe not overly surprising, as the company has expressed that it was exploring options for it’s PC and laptop arm in the past. Another thing to note is that Sony is splitting it’s TV arm into a separate company. This resulted in a painful “trimming of the fat”, 5000 layoffs were announced alongside the sale. But where does this leave PlayStation?
