Sony also had the Walkman brand, which was once of the most powerful in the history of consumer electronics. Sony's 'plan' lost them the one of the most lucrative businesses in the past decade. |
Kind of Ironic since they actually lost the "walkman war" by not expanding the product, like they did with the PS3 to the PS2, so i guess its lose lose to all of the business gurus on VGChartz forum who like to think they know more about running a successful business by tracking sales numbers for 8 months. |
No, they lost the portable music business because they failed to appeal to a mass audience. Their products were not designed to appeal to the average person. |
catch-22. Sony didnt push the envelope of portable music, they stuck to the walkman brand and concept, it wasnt as though people woke up one day and there was a mass audience for mp3 players or new portable devices, Sony simply stood pat and didnt push the genre of portable music and thats why they lost it, the market is only dictated by consumer to a certian extent, its up to companies to evolve in the proper ways to capitalize on evolving interests as well as to move popular interests forward, which is what apple did to portable music, while sony stood idle.
