What? They make Drillships!!!

Samsung electronics has revenue of $117bn compared to Sony having a revenue of $80bn, so Samsung are still 50% bigger by revenue even if just looking at Samsung's electronics (especially is you consider Sony own movie studios and record labels)


samsung does all kind of electronics though, sony it only entertaiment

ofcoz cheap stuff sells more, its a no brainer. don't tell me yall are just figuring this out lol.


It is cheaper and most would argue about same quality or sometimes even better.  If you can buy a product with about the same quality/reliability as another competitor for cheaper of course you are going to buy it.  Sure not all Samsung products are very reliable but neither are Sony.  Sony has been in a long slow decline and only the playstations have kept them from not looking so bad.  They have lost ground in almost all aspects of their business and have even now lost market in their once mighty video game console market.  It isn't all doom and gloom but the reality isn't looking too hot for Sony.

And even still once you have general figures you can't compare both electronic departments since a ton of other business segments are included.

Laughable.


Then get the numbers for their electronics department and compare the right figures... Anyways, it is pretty obvious that Samsung is kicking Sony's ass in the electronic department.

Yes, right. The OP contains the exact opposite.

Samsung is doing better, yes, but how is it clear it's kicking Sony's ass when the consumer electronics departments of both companies is equal to or less than 50% of both businesses? 


Okay well I did exaggerate.  However, I believe Samsung's image among the majority of public has overtaken Sony's image.  When someone goes into a store with a better image/liking of a company then they will probably choose that company's product.

I think both images are different. I see Samsung as being seen as 'Quality, popular, good value for money' wheras Sony imo are seen as 'luxury.'

Interesting figures here though, basically disproves a lot of stuff in this thread. I don't think Samsung rising over Sony has as much to do with Sony losing market dominance as you may think.

Before Recession - Samsung Revenue = $80B

After Recession - Samsung Revenue = $170B

The recession was one key to Samsungs huge success nowadays.

Look at Apple, they have the 'luxury' products and they are quite successful. There are plenty of people willing to buy goods perceived at quality regardless of a recession.



Anyone can guess. It takes no effort to throw out lots of predictions and have some of them be correct. You are not and wiser or better for having your guesses be right. Even a blind man can hit the bullseye.

I got a Samsung Monitor, and a Panasonic TV in my room. Than one 2 Samsung TV's else where in my house, including a 55", and the last is another Panasonic. Samsung is HUGE in TV's, they are the world leader, there is a reason people buy them. They aren't "cheap", but the best build quality, while Sony has been falling here.

Well yeah, but Sony's revenue has basically stayed the same - so Sony aren't so much selling less. It's their profitability that's took a massive hit.

But still, Samsung sold more during the recession due to their location, and prices. Sony suffered a lot in the recession due to their pricey nature and location.

Apple's success during the recession was down to the iSheep and the way they are seen to have brought out innovative products. Apple are just in that phase where nothing will stop people buying.

My first computer monitor was a Samsung 19 inch CRT.  I'm on my second one now,  Samsung 22 inch LCD.

And my TV, Samsung 40 inch LCD.  I don't think I will ever go with another company.  I'm the same way with Logitech.  My mouse, computer speakers, keyboard and headset are all Logitech.

The people you call iSheep are probably the very same people who bought Sony products in the past.
