When Samsung is claiming that they have nearly 90% of the market, Sony is going to have to pull nearly 50% of the market to "win".

And with Samsung coming in way under Sony at almost every price point I've checked, that just isn't going to happen.

Furhtermore, here in canada...the cheapest Sony 3D TV over 50 inches is more expensive than any Samsung model available.

3D is all about going big and you can have a 50 inch samsung plasma, with glasses and bluray player for free for 1700 dollars. Thats almost mass market price for a TV that size...

Since sony doesn't make plasmas, they can not make large displays as cheap. Their cheapest 3D TV over  inches is 4500 dollars for a  52 inch LED which is still 1000 bucks more than the Samsung 52 inch LED.

There is no way Sony is capturing any marketshare at these prices in NA.

Yeah, it's ridiculous. I just found my GF a 32" Samsung 720p LCD for $350 shipped. Uh, WHAT?!? That's virtually nothing. I bought myself a 27" LCD monitor for $300 shipped. It's "only" 1920x1080 resolution but that doesn't bother me one bit for the price considering everyone else was STARTING at $800 for 27" monitors over 1080p resolution.

Samsung is just kicking everyone else's ass around the block and they still manage to rake in money while doing so. That's all there is to it.

PS. You can find competition near those price points but they don't offer 2ms response and 80,000:1 contrast ratios like Samsung's units. The specs are appalling. At pretty much any price point, it goes:

Samsung>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Everyone Else
