So sony are profitable atm.

oh i meant their TV sets. They make some of the best in the business.

They are pretty good, I agree. But their problem is it's often not enough to justify their higher price compared to the competition.

Just last month, we wanted to buy a new 4K Smart TV. We were interested in both Philips and Sony, but ended up buying neither. The Philips we were interested in was not available, and the Sony 50" Smart TV did cost as much as the Sharp 60" 4K Smart Android TV we finally ended up buying. And that Sony TV had 2 model lines above the model we choose with the same size, which both would have been more expensive than what we bought.
