People do want to like Sony. Anecdotally, I know a lot of people who said they'd never buy anything but Sony (after their experience in the 90s), yet ended up with a Samsung TV and phone because they could see the quality was just as good (or that Sony quality had come down to the market average) but the price was much more reasonable.
And wow RIM has fallen a lot. Couldn't keep up with the demands of modern business.
