Not really. They are struggling to redefine their business model like many other Japanese companies. They announced over $2 billion in net losses last year as a company overall.

They've sold off their computer division and their smartphone division and TVs are probably next according to their chairman. All the areas you typically associate Japanese electronics for have been overtaken by their Asian rivals. Sony still has revenue from it's entertainment division but they are going to have to look to changing or dropping a majority of their historical consumer divisions completely just like Panasonic did.
