| leo-j said: Sony's xperia brand is growing.. Selling more and more each year.. They want to get to #3 there.. Cameras and movies should also help them keep afloat.. Unfortunately TVs need to get dropped price wise.. But that still hasn't happened |
if you follow those markets you would know that while the xperia brand is growing it isn't enough

they are beaten by the chinese easily.. that one of the problems Sony has to deal with.. and probably not gonna win cause the Chinese can build much cheaper..
Camera's is also a problematic market for Sony if they don't up their professional line.. digital camera's are being replaced by, ironicly, Smartphones at a rapid rate: http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424127887324251504578580263719432252
Sony was 2nd in digital camera's a few years back but went third in a shrinking market..
While Sony is doing better then a few years back, the competitors are doing much much better (expect with the PS4)
