Are you implying Sony making their own TV's in Japan? You may be surprise to find out the truth.
| rutea7 said: your threads are quite repetitive, weren't you the one who started the samsung 3d tvs too. no. yes almost everyone i know has either samsung or lg, they are cheaper and very good, sony tends to be more expensive. i have an lg. i still dont see the point of calling out on the small marketshare for sony in the tv market, it's not like they arent selling any. I never did. well i guess thats expected from someone who's biased against sony. I love Vaio notebooks. the tvs have pretty good quality picture and the prices are starting to come down from what i've seen in stores. i do notice less variety in models from sony, the stores i visit tend to only have sony tvs from 40" up. LG has more models and are cheaper, also the stores often do promotions to get rid of old models and thats how we got a 42" veeery cheap. the quality of the picture isnt inferior so it doesnt come as a surprise how well it sells. |
After I read you post, I remebered this:

Sorry, I don't want to insult you at all. It just fits.
Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

They are using Yen to buy, meaning they can get more for the Yen's when it's higher in trading?
Doesn't LG = lifes good? Anyway, life must really be good for LG.
@Reasonable: You're wrong because I think you're wrong, ok?
Tease.
Sony still have diehard fans though, price or not.
My uncle would buy anything Sony even if it cost twice for the same functions.

I thought it's the other way around because they are an export dependent company?

If you buy stuff from China, for example. You'd use China's currency. That means, you'll have to exchange whatever currency you have into China's currency to pay for the wares.
So, if Yen is high, it means they get more money after the exchange, no?

A weaker currency would boost the value of their repatriated overseas profits and make their goods cheaper and more competitive in foreign markets -- and a stronger currency has the opposite effect.
The weakening/strengthening currency really depends on what currency the deal is negotiated in and the direction of the trade. If a deal is negotiated in the strengthening currency, companies inside the country that operates on that currency pay and earn the same amount on every deal negotiated but companies in the foreign country pay more for their imports and make more for their exports. If the deal is negotiated in the weaker currency the companies within that country make/pay the same amount, but companies who import from that country see lower prices while companies who export to that country see lower profits.
With that said ...
I don't follow consumer electronics all that closely, and I know Sharp isn't a very large electronics manufacturer in general but I was surprised they didn't make the list. I know more people who own Sharp TVs than any other brand ...
