why did Sony do it.......

Ummm you guys need to do a little research instead of blindly following sony. Put down the kool-aid for a sec and wake up to reality.

#1 Sony doesn't even make their own LCDs. SAMSUNG makes sony's LCDs

Sony is getting DESTROYED in the LCD market. An amazing fall from grace.
Shockingly, upstart VIZIO is number 2 and Sony dropped from 2nd to 5th place in just 1 year.

Sony is losing market share and cutting jobs and they have lost money on phones for 2 straight years.

#3 The original XBOX had superior graphics and it was WAY more reliable than the ps2.

#4 ACER is the SECOND BIGGEST computer maker in the world - SONY is not even in the top 5.

There you have it. Sony is on the "cutting edge" of absolutely nothing. They lag far behind their competitors in EVERY product line they have. And while sony is making billion dollar losses, microsoft and nintendo are making billion dollar profits.

Sometimes the truth hurts.
