They may not be the number 1 or 2 seller but they are probably the 3rd or 4th highest seller of televisions. I have a panasonic, samsung, and a sony in my house and consider them the top 3 in the TV business. I guess if sony is not is 1st place they don't make money. |
Electronics, ESPIECALLY TVs are a razor thin profit margin buisness.
Combine the Yen's past troubles, with Samsung passing them in quality but still being cheaper in price...
Sony's had no choice but to make their margins razor thin and coast on brand name... and various things are causing that razor thin margin to make them dip into the red.
They're fighting to keep that brandname in TVs.
As of yet they haven't slipped into gamecube "screw it, we're just going to sell it for a profit and concede the TV market" and hope we hit something big" mode.
Which might actually be what their failed 3D push was about. Attempting to make the Wii of TV.
