| BoneyBoy said: 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. http://www.twice.com/article/390155-iSuppli_Samsung_Retook_Q3_LCD_TV_Shipment_Lead.php #2 Sony phones are plagued with failures and they only have 8% market share http://www.trustedreviews.com/mobile-phones/news/2009/11/27/Aino-Becomes-2nd-Sony-Ericsson-Phone-to-Fail-In-a-Week/p1 http://www.mobileburn.com/news.jsp?Id=8309 Sony is losing market share and cutting jobs and they have lost money on phones for 2 straight years. http://www.marketwatch.com/story/sony-ericssons-quarterly-profit-drops #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. http://www.tgdaily.com/hardware-features/44937-acer-beats-up-dell-in-pc-market-share 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. |
In the current economy and mentality if you want to be first you need to sell product at a very low price whatever the quality of it. ACER is a good example, they have crappy product, a lot of faulty laptop that keeps on breaking. If they sell more doesnt mean that they are better than Sony, witch is clearly not the case.
Some of what your saying may be true but your argument doesnt make any sense with your conclusion. If your argument would be to prove that Sony is not the market share leader, than fine. But your argument doesnt prove anything about Sony not offering good product or not trying to be at cutting edge technology. You could be the company that offer the best products and be last because your selling them 20 X the price of the others.
Edit: and heres a small hint for you, when company like consumer report evaluate things they usually dont evaluate the average life of the appliances. Which mean that some time they will recommend the worst product on the market, because its cheap and offer a lot of features. Ive seen that a couple of time in the line of my work.
