Sony Group Corp. is intensifying its strategic pivot toward gaming and music while downsizing its legacy consumer electronics division.
The company will cease all shipments of Blu-ray disc recorders with no successor models planned. This decision follows a sharp decline in physical media demand driven by the rise of streaming services.
Sony also confirmed the spinoff of its Bravia television business into a joint venture. Chinese electronics giant TCL will hold a majority stake in the new entity.
These restructuring efforts signal a nothing off-limits realignment of the Japanese conglomerate’s portfolio. The move prioritizes high-growth entertainment sectors over traditional hardware manufacturing.
