I disagree...

people are starting to feel that samsung is a better company that sony..

I can tell with the way people are buying things in best buy

You can't tell how 24 countries feel about Samsung and Sony by what you observed being sold in a Best Buy....That's 1 business out of countless other businesses, some of which are in countries that Best Buy's aren't in. Not only that but you're probably looking at a limited spectrum (Televisions). Samsung may be at the top of the game for televisions but they still have a lot of growing to do in other departments for the time being. Sony still have brand recognition for most of their products (Playstation, Vaio, Ericcson, Bravia, & Walkman), which is really what seems to be driving most of the titles in the top portion of the list.


You're thinking too small. Sony is a lot bigger than just their electronics business. Sony Music Entertainment is the second largest record music company in the world after Universal Music. Michael Jackson, Beyonce Knowles, Aerosmith, AC/DC, Johnny Cash, Brittany Spears, Madonna, Bob Dylan, Elvis Presley, Justin Timberlake, Journey, Pearl Jam, Usher, and the list goes on. They're all Sony artists. And then there is Sony Pictures Entertainment which is the fourth biggest film studio after Warner Bros, 20th Century Fox, and Paramount. Sony has their hands dipped in so many markets it's crazy. Hell, in Japan Sony Financial Holdings offers life insurance!

Seihyouken's got the right idea.  Sony extends beyond Bestbuy or any other electronic stores.
