Both NHK and the Asahi Shimbun are reporting that the Japanese firm will cut loose the organization \"in a few months and form a new company by consolidating its chip production bases in Japan.\" According to Japan Today, while accounting for 10% of the multinational conglomerate's sales, the division continues to see heavy losses due to steep development costs, and may eventually have to merge with one of its rivals in order to survive.Update: It's official. Fujitsu says it will form a new subsidiary in March. The consolidation efforts will be complete in September to a tune of &amp;yen;10 billion (about $93 million)."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
