Yeah, they are making some good decisions outside the playstation division. The Xperia smartphones are getting better and better. With the water resistence they have a unique selling point. And with the Xperia Z1 compact there is finally a powerful Android smartphone available, which can be controlled with one hand... I hate the phablet trend. Shrinking the movie division was also long overdue: http://www.theverge.com/2013/11/22/5132704/sony-will-shrink-movie-division-in-order-to-keep-it-alive The TV division has a less rosy future... good image quality was always very important to me (high resolution, sharp pictures, good viewing angles and color accuracy) and hence I was an early adopter of high quality computer monitors, DVD-players, a 720p-projector, HD-DVD, Blu-ray, a 1080p-projector, a 1080p-TV and an iPad 3. But even I don't see great demand for 4k-TVs... FullHD is good enough for most of the population, many don't even see the difference between 1080p and 720p in normal viewing distance. |
Indeed, sony need to do some drastic moves with their TV division like Panasonic.
2013 was the worst year of sony pictures since 2005, but if you look at the 2014 movie line-up with movies as spiderman, pompeii, robocop, 22 jump street, about last night.. etc. I'm pretty sure they will top 2013.
