Sweet. If they do well, I get more new IPs and games in general.

Nah, doing bad or well Sony always takes risks, they know only by taking risks they can be the top dog in this industry, look at Apple or Google, they take risks they dominate the market, look at Microsoft, they copy others, they are irrelevant outside Windows. 

Zune copied Ipod but ipod already dominated. 

WP copied ios and Android but was too late. 

Kin tried to be Microsoft iPhone, failed. 

You see? You gotta take risks or you become irrelevant against your competitors.

Irrelevant, yeah right.

MS gained around 300 billion market cap in the same time Sony gained 37 billion...

Last I checked MS market cap is above its all time high from 1999, I'm sure Microsoft is the one that's dominating, LOL.

How much of that jump is owed to the PS4 though. I would estimate at least halve since the Sony movie and Sony music are in worse shape. Sony tv is still a meh market and Sony has stopped producing tablets and laptops and will hopefully stop making phones for their own good. But Playstation has had an enormous boost since 2012 and is enough to let Sony grow it seems.

As far as Sony TVs are concerned...

 

 

Rtings.com scores for 2017 LED TVs 

X930E - 8.3

X940E - 8.2

X900E - 8.2

Q9F - 8.0

 

You'll notice that Samsung's highest tier TV this year was bested by not one, not two, but THREE Sony TVs in objective scoring. That means that Sony beat out the Samsung TVs without even having their best attributes scored (noise algorithms and upscaling), since both are entirely subjective.

Yeah in general Panasonic plasma where far superior to any LED tv. But Samsung easily outsells Sony tv's and so does LG btw. This is about sales not about quality the thread title couldn't be more clear about that.

6% is utterly pathetic for Sony which was once the biggest tv producer.

Still living in 2012 I see. 

Pictures is poised to huge comeback with movies like Spidey and baby driver, Smurfs and RE did good too. 

Sony rules the TV market big time alongside LG and Samsung. 

Sony Music prints money and has one of the top grossing mobile games WW. 

SONY Playstation is beasting. 

Xperia Z Premium is the best phone on the market. 

Keep fighting the good fight.

Rules the tv market good one a mere 6% is ruling these days. By that definition Wii U was ruling gen 8.

 

Sony pictures is sure doing great only lost a billion dollars or 913 million in 2016.

 

https://www.google.nl/amp/variety.com/2017/biz/asia/losses-at-sony-pictures-division-cut-group-profits-1201976056/amp/

 

Sony phones are pretty good shame only 3% of the world phones are Sony these days if it isn't 2% already.

 

Sony Music was also 7.6% down compared to last year so that isn't doing all that fantastic either. But at least it still profitable.

 

Camera business us doing very well though.

Not on the consumer front. The only thing MS that people use that MS dominates in is Windows. And even then desktop sales are dropping and people are moving to tablet at home. From an individual consumer point of view MS is irrelevant.
