gofreak said:As discussed earlier..divisions are being marshalled into two new umbrella groups,
Those "umbrella groups" are called "divisions." The finances of the Vaio, Walkman, and Games groups will be reported in aggregate. That is the technical definition of a corporate division. The Games Division no longer exists. It has been eliminated.
0but they remain as indivdual divisions, they're not being 'eliminated'.
No.
As the PR states, Kaz is still President and Group CEO of SCE in addition to his new role. If they were merging divisions that would seem unnecessary.
SCE is not a division. It is a corporate subsidiary.
And actually, politically within Sony this is good news for SCE. PSN 'won' in terms of the competing network strategies within Sony, and Stringer's basically forcing the other divisions to fall under its banner. Kaz is also being promoted to Executive Vice President at Sony overall, which increases his influence further.
This is absolutely true, and as I stated earlier, should be repeated multiple times in this thread just to prevent hysteria.
