Sony is now run by a no-nonsense American CEO who is cut and dry. If he deems certain product line having no long term future and not in line with Sony's strategy, he won't hesitate to cut it out. He is said to be steering Sony back to its roots, excellent consumer electronic products and professional equipment such as pro-video and broadcast equipment etc. He is said to be very reluctant on entertainment biz and game machine etc. One way or the other, I am sure they will reclaim their past glory. But until then, things such as Play Station with $200 million loss or DSLR might be on chopping block. CFO won't utter the word "retreat" from DSLR unless it was discussed deep in their board room. I am startled that CFO even admitted that their DSLR was targeted by C/N and they were "struggling". That's not a positive spin, but too honest. However, I personally wish them to stay in the game as it will keep everybody else honest and we, users, will eventually benefit. So much on Sony.... :-).
