A quote from TWICE magazine:

Sony said its TV focus going forward will emphasize high-end sets and 4K Ultra HD products. Sony said it is hopeful the TV business will return to profitability in the next fiscal year, ending March 31, 2015

The company said it will now “reinforce the company’s leading position in the 4K market by strengthening its product lineup while also bolstering its 2K models with wide color range and image-enhancing technologies.”

“In emerging markets, Sony will aim to harness market expansion by developing and launching models tailored to specific local needs,” the company said.

Sony said it will accelerate and broaden its ongoing cost reduction and operational improvement measures. The new TV operations will be optimized in size and structure for the current competitive business environment, the company said, and will be held “fully accountable for its operations.”

Therefore, Sony said it is splitting off the TV business as a wholly owned subsidiary beginning in July.

“By implementing these measures, Sony is aiming to further enhance its TV business’ profit structure and return the business to profitability during FY14,” the company said.



I like this part: "launching models tailored to specific local needs,” the company said." I have a local need for an 80" 4k display for $500 :)
