People, Sony has never been a high quality manufacturer. It has been one of the cheap-o manufacturers, who charge more than the others alike. Sony just has been fast adopting new tech in the low cost end. And now Sony is facing problems due to increased competition in the cheap end and it's actually losing to companies that use the excact same methods as Sony did when it was growing in the market.

@Dodece: Actually i belive the reason why Stringer was hired as CEO is, that the japanese can't cut jobs from Japan, but Stringer can.

 

i have 1996 triniton that still works, a 2003 ps2.

so i don't agree they are cheap, just look at their vaio lcd or bravia screens.

My brother has a TV that is older than me in his bedroom right now, I think it is about 30 years old.  It has a different button for each channel (I guess there were only about 10 channels back then).  It still works perfect, and it's not a Sony.  What's that prove?  NOTHING

My family had a Triniton break on us about a decade ago.  What's that prove?  NOTHING

By the way, do know that PS2s are notoriously unreliable?  People were buying two or three of them.
