| shams said: Sony needs to focus on hardware. They need to put their prices UP, and get back to making quality devices. 20 years ago I loved to buy anything Sony. It was the best, it had more features, and it lasted forever. And I payed more for it. Its just not the same anymore - Sony have dropped, everyone else has caught up. I can now buy the same quality for half the price - why bother paying more? |
But if the hardware they are doing are really becoming commodities ( it is what you have described in the last sentence ) that would harm their company.
IMO they should focus on hardware but not only on a engineering point of view, they need to find new uses for the technology that already exists ( rest in peace Yokoi ) or using new technology not to do the same thing except better but to satisfy underserved needs.
Sony was considered a disruptor at the time of the transistor and walkman, they need their old mentality.
Just my 2 cents.
