The stock offer they made was to finance the purchase of a new factory to produce more Bravia tv's. Not for the PS3. If you are interested in any company or console is going down the road of Sega, you might want to check what the shareholders had to say about the 6 billion loss that MS made on the 360 and how much interest there is in making another moneyloss there.
Sony is doing great with PS2 and PSP so no worries there anymore after the first loss on the PS3 which has gone now

The stock offering was used to fund both the Bravia and the Playstation division.
As for MS losing 6B, that sounds like a made up stat, linky please.
Sony is not "Doing fine" with the PSP and PS2. The PS2 is one of their sales leaders. Having a console that has no marketing or new game production outselling your lead console is really the whole story. Sony's Playstation division is in serious trouble here.
And if what you are telling me about them staking their claim on these 3 titles being their console sellers, then they really missed the bus with not getting them out the door until almost a full year after the console's release. Not to mention they are going into another Christmas season being out in the cold with sales, meaning they fall further behind in the race to get the install base in place.
Personally, I think they are already past the point of no return, and the PS3 is currently undergoing its death rattle.
