PlayStation 4 was selling like crazy during this holiday season, but not all of the Sony departments are doing well at the moment. Their smartphone line Xperia isn't selling the way they would want to, although the reviews and the quality of the smartphones are great, but the sales results are simply not there. Sony PC department is also taking a beating at the market. In fact there have been rumors that there is a 70 percent chance that the company will bankrupt in the next 2 years.
According to the news service Nikkei from Japan, Sony is looking to sell their PC business for $492 million. From the company they have released a statement saying "continues to address various options", what ever that means. Some even go so far with saying that the sale news could come in the next few days. Doubt they will have a hard time finding a buyer, $492 million isn't such a high price compared to what the IT giants have been spending lately on purchase of other companies.
So what's next for the Japanese company. Their results in the entertainment are great so they will probably want to focus on that department. There have also been a lot of rumors lately about Sony making smartphones with Windows Phone operating system. This could be a solution for them considering their Android sales are low.
