That's the problem with anaylist firms they all give so very different results.

Nice to see the usual positivity from Mr Positive.

On a serious note - Also nice to see some good news from Sony.

I think when I inevitably upgrade to a smartphone I'll go with a Sony phone. They look brilliant. That or an iphone, depending on what the market is like when I upgrade.

You must submit to Apple and get a Apple 5 like I did *_*.

I have a 4 year old Ipod nano... that's all the submitting I'll be doing. Works like a piece of shit now... so much for the longevity of Apple products.

I havea  iPod classic from 2008 and it is still going strong! lol

Sorry about your nano ;(

Yeah? Maybe you've just treated it better because to be fair I have dropped this nano probably over 100 times. Shit needs grip!

I saw this a few weeks ago but I decided against posting it.

Anyway, that's actually really impressive! Everyone I know has an iPhone, Galaxy, HTC or Blackberry; so this came as quite a shock.

Congrats Turkish and Sony, hopefully this can help turn their fortunes around!



My prediction threads:

Wii U will sell under 40m units (made on 14th September 2012)

PS Vita will sell under 20m units (made on 30th September 2012)

Wii U will sell under 7m in 2013 - I was right

Halo 4 first 9 weeks sales prediction

PS4 to be down YOY in 2015

Just shows doesn't it 3rd place..... with a meagre 5.2%

Samsung utterly dominate smartphones right now.


But still a lot better than those Windows smartphones isn't it. Give it a couple years and Sony will rival Samsung. They already got the better phone in the Xperia T and V.


Wow, now that's crazy talk. There's no way in hell Sony will catch up with Samsung in a few years. Samsung's in a different league (along with Apple). It could overtake HTC and Blackberry by a comfortable amount though

Slightly off-topic but I just was Skyfall and yes, there is a lot of sony product placement. Other than the phone which only appeared in 1 or 2 scenes (that I noticed) there was a ton of Vaio lapton placements, multiple times front and centre. I guess its a good idea for them - if you are making a movie with a lot of gadgets in it, might as well make sure the gadgets are your own.
