Yeah it's very difficult to run a business like that.

On a personal equivalent, it's similar to living paycheck to paycheck with no savings whatsoever and having to refinance your debt every few years.

Yet a decent number of companies do that don't they?

Ah well... I wonder if this will eventually lead to Sony saying "screw it" swallowing their pride and conceding the NA TV market to Samsung, raise their prices for a few years and try and make a comeback later.

Yeah lots of companies do that. It works well with an expanding market where it's easy to convince investors to lend you money. Not so well when there's lack of confidence in the economy and borrowing costs go up, especially in a cut-throat business environment like electronics or retail.
