Sony invented the Walkman, it's really unexplainable that since the rise of MP3 players (where it arrived surely late, but still many years before Apple), despite still producing some of the best portable devices of the various kinds, it suddenly unlearned how to profit from them. The same happened with TVs, surely Sony accepted too late the end of CRT, being overconfident in its Trinitron tech, but when it finally surrendered to reality, Korean competition wasn't so strong yet to not resist its attack. Many things extremely wrong must have happened in management and marketing from then on, because the tech side kept on designing and producing good products (even the cheap ones, a Sony DVD burner I though broken was just malfunctioning due to a rogue game DRM that kept on messing up optical drives drivers, and after many years it's still working in my mom's PC, that I assembled mainly with salvaged parts from my old ones).
