Samsung are steaming ahead, but it's nothing to do with them having superior products (which I would say is false anyway, but to each his own), it is for a number of reasons:
- Sony missed the boat on TV's a while ago. Sony buy their panels from Samsung in many cases.
- Japanese companies were far worse hit by the recession.
- Sony was even worse hit by the recession as it is a more high market brand.
- Sony have had such strong competitions in their key areas.
And in the OP, please tell me operating income and net profit are not being compared? Lol.
Anyway, Sony still have:
- At least an equal amount of resources
- At least an equal amount of partners and influence
- More assets
So it's far from doom and gloom.
What Sony need is to dominate a market once again. 3D is what they are gunning for.
