Forums - Sony - SONY downgraded again to Junk by Moody's (outlook stable).

Would anyone be intrested to buy their TV division? I mean I can understand the interest in a spinoff of the entertainment division but in the TV division... brand value down.. expensive production lines.. can't see anyone who wants that..

Maybe buy the Bravia branding? Other than that it seems worthless. Sony really need to swallow their pride and ditch TV's. They're low margin for the best of companies.



 

Those Tv's lol Sony wont let the stupid things go xD just because they made billions off them once upon a time doesn't mean they will now.

That sucks, Sony really has some divisions that either need some serious restructuring or need to be ditched entirely.

Also I can already see people using this as ammo in the console war:

PSfan: "Oh, great the PS4 is the best selling console again this week"
Non-PSfan: "Yeah, but Sony is rated Junk by all rating agencys and is doing really bad financially"
PSfan: "Thanks, that really discredits the PS4s success"

Very true, but of course vice versa too ;)

non-PSFAN "Sony isn't doing great"
PS-FAN "but it doesn't matter, PS4 is doing great and will save them"
non-PSFAN "PS4 has little relevance on saving Sony.

:P

Absolutely, it all goes both ways :D



I personally think that they should kill off their TV and Vaio* divisions. Drive up investment in mobile/tablets. Try a restart on PSVita (only has one more chance, though) (new model. cheaper, longer battery life, support SD cards). Get a PSNow box out there. Some kind of PSThree

I'm not so sure how their movie/music stuff is going. I guess industry standard, music on a long-term down and movies up.

*If people are buying for style, they buy Apple. If they're buying for getting shit done, they buy Lenovo. I guess they could go after gaming laptops? But that's a niche market, and Alienware already has it pretty locked down, so... In TV, Samsung are pretty much unstoppable at this point.

Finally, a reasonable post.



Sony needs to hurry up and start making TV's that only last 3 years, and laptops that may get you through 2. Seems to be what people want these days. Instead of $800 to get you through the next 8 years, why not 3 or 4 easy payments of $450. Forget that that is $200 a year compared to $100, and that 3 or 4th $450 device still under performs the old $800 one.



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.
