how are xperia line up no making any money at all, which makes no sense. Sure their market share is tiny and don't sell samsung numbers, but they still sell millions and popularity is increasing in a lot of region. I think some time ago they said they are still restructuring their mobile division after the purchase from Erricson and moved everything to Tokyo, are they still not done with that?

If the trend continues Sony will go out of business.
They won't go out of business.. they might become a smaller company, but they have enough depth to keep the ship afloat.
The switch from desktop computing to mobile computing is hurting them more then they expected I think. Samsung was never able to compete with Vaio in the PC business, but in mobile... different story.
The general problem with being a hardware OEM is that you are always someone's "puppet" .. in Sony's case it was Microsoft for about 10 years and now Google's for who knows how long. By selling android devices Sony makes more money for Google then they do for themselves

"We are also discussing whether to change the number of phones in our line-up and adjust their lifecycle," Yoshida said, speaking at a news conference after the company released its results on Thursday.

I wonder if this might lead to the end of the 6 month flagship cycle and bring a new yearly flagship cycle.
What are your thoughts?

I like it.
Streamlining the portfolio, so that there aren't so many weird highly gimmicky models with random letters assigned to them, would be a good thing.
Something like Z, S and E, a la the Vaio's of old.
Z = Flagship - iPhone-esque price, undercut Apple cause brand isn't powerful enough
S = Mid-ranger - Moto X-esque pricing
E = Bottom feeder - Moto G/E pricing if possible, maybe midway between, with specs that are between as well.
If different sizes are needed, just have no suffix for the standard version, Ultra for the supersized version, and Compact for the smaller version. That, is it.
Right now its too goddamn confusing. Simplify so people know what's going on

@XYZ
That sounds like a really great plan.
Easy to understand and logical.

@Tizzo
what i wrote 1-2 pages back, to elaborate:
z, high end - main, compact, ultra, tablet, mini tablet.
m (mid), lower mid range - very close to moto g pricing, relatively cheap.
e (economic), low end - cheap phone like xperia e1 but with better display and higher quality plastic.
if that is what sony representative says then maybe it's worth for them to take a risk and stop with these wrongfully expensive mid range phones and for this reason i would not try to rival upper mid range phones like moto x, etc.
