Sony CEO eyes options as pressure mounts on weak TV, mobile

Las Vegas

SONY Corp CEO Kazuo Hirai has weathered a crisis over a cyberattack on its Hollywood studio and its controversial comedy The Interview, but his toughest moment may be just arriving as he prepares a new business revival plan.

After failing to turn around the storied creator of the Walkman since taking the helm in April 2012, Mr Hirai and his deputies are now open to options including sales and joint ventures for its money-losing TV and mobile phone operations, officials familiar with the leadership's thinking say.
