@OP
you asked and answered your own question.
Also, Sony typically tries to be at or close to the cutting edge of technology with all of their new products. It is what makes Sony the unique brand that it is. |
HUH???!!!! Sony hasn't been on the cutting edge of ANY technology since Walkman.
In fact, Sony is an also-ran in almost every product division.
Samsung is a better innovator in phones and TVs
Apple is a better innovator in music players and phones
Toshiba and Acer are better innovators in laptops
The list goes on and on....sony is no longer a leader. They have been reduced to a follower that releases more expensive products than its competition.
Blu-ray added no innovation - HD-DVD did the exact same thing blu-ray could for cheaper.
The only thing HD-DVD lacked was 600 million $$ dollars in bribe money to buy off Warner Bros and Fox

Wow so much fail in one post.
Samsung phones I don't know about but their TV's and Bravia are pretty much identical. Also I hate samsung since everything I have ever bought from them has broken. 2 MP3 players broke within 3 months, and one 32" LCD tv broke about 11 months after I bought it and now when ever I have a HDMI cable connected to it the picture goes all blurry.
Apple, if you call a phone that can't send MMS messages or record videos to be a better phone I don't know what to say. Also iPods aren't the best mp3 players on the market. But not everyone knows that so they just buy iPods.
Toshiba, not even gonna comment on them. They always release the cheap junk laptops that you see for about €300 here in Ireland. Lot of people buy them but they don't really do much. Barely even run the software they are supposed too. My sister had to downgrade from vista to xp since the laptop was such a piece of crap.
Never used an acer laptop so I can't comment.

I sold Samsung appliances at my store for 2 years and decided to stop selling them because we had so much reparation in and out of waranty. It wasnt good for consumer nor for us. Samsung looks very appealing, lot of feature, great look, but it has the worst after sale service of all time. Can you imagine that your refrigerator is broken and they take 2 months to ship the compressor so it can be fix. 2 months without a fridge?!?! Well with samsung its all possible.

The public perception (at least where I am) is that Sony's products are #1. You find them in the rich people's homes, they look great, work fantastically, and never break.
Except for my launch PS2 (which was replaced quick quick), no Sony product that I know of has ever broken.
You can bring up Sony's financial standing and how the company has changed all you like, but in the end we both know that you'd rather have a Bravia in your home than anything else.
I'm not some pro-Sony spokesman, but I am someone who's sick of hearing one of the world's top companies being called shit just cause YOU have an Xbox and don't like the PS3. Grow up.
