| 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. |
Your post contradicts itself in a lot of places.
First you use market share as a way to say sony doesn't have anything "cutting edge". Although less market share is usually a result of price which is a result of having "cutting edge" technology inside it.
And then you complain about the ps2 being less powerful than the xbox but if we go by your earlier argument it has more market share so it's actually better than the xbox right?
And sony fell to 5th place because of the global economy. People don't have the money to spend on anything "cutting edge" so they buy the cheaper stuff that does the bare minimum.
And if sony didn't use cutting edge technology we would see something similar to the wii. Where it was priced cheap from the start and they never would have had to sell it at a loss.
EDIT: look up "squaretrade reliability" and have a look at how acer are the second worst for failing but since they are second biggest they are obviously the second best. Also hp are the biggest and worst percent for failing. But being the biggest they are obviously the best according to you.
