I see this as very depressing, when not even Sony executives understand where their money came from...
Yes, Sony electronics give a loss, but it is NEEDED.
Why it is needed? Well, because this is how Sony pushes to their bread and butter clients buy the other stuff.
Sony is profitable making movies, music, and selling equipment for those, Sony Vegas is profitable, Sony 3D cameras are profitable, Sony Blu-Ray recorders are profitable.
Now, why Sony would need to sell Blu-Ray recorders, if they did not pushed for Blu-Ray with the PS3 sold at loss?
Sony eletronics business, was always about pushing technology that results in content producers needing to pay Sony through their nose to make the content that match Sony consumer tech.
If you split Sony, you will get a electronics division that gives loss, and a movie and music division that cannot push the market to where they want anymore, resulting in the failure of both.
I don't understand much of insurance business, so of course I won't comment on that.
