It's unlikely that the company will sell that business as well though

Sony has expressed its plans to reform its PC and TV businesses, but while the fate of the former sub-company has been decided upon, the same cannot be said about the latter.

Sony has already signed a contract to sell its PC business to Japan Industrial Partners.

That still leaves the TV business to reform though. In fact, the company has reportedly been aggressively trying to change how things work there.

This fits the intentions expressed back in April 2012.

Sony wants to make the TV business earn more money than it spends, but it admits it didn't manage that in the ongoing fiscal year (ends on March 31).

The return to profitability is still in sight though. Sony has been rationalizing R&D expenses and enhancing LCD panel-related cost efficiency, among other things. Focus on the high end will also be a major goal.
