I dunno, to me it seems they should invest more.
From 60k a month to 80k a month and only next year doesn't sound like a significant-enough increase.
Yes.......that's 20x12 extra a year but that still looks too small lol.

And also, what if Samsung goes into this buissness/increases production too? This extra investment will be beneficial to compete with Samsung in the sensor market lol.

it could actually be a gigantic increase in sensor output if it also means switching to bigger wafers - unfortunately the news doesn't touch on the subject which wafer sizes are used

sony owns a 1000 different things, thats the difference to other company's like Nintendo. They have various of ways to make money and maneuver

Maybe for once they will invest in something that will turn profits.

But but but Sony have no monies.

This is either going to be really good or really bad for them

hope it works out

Are you sure? It could also be very neutral for them. You should cover all the bases just to be safe =p

I can't see it being neutral. I think it will only be one or the other o.o

To quote the majority of this thread.

'Will either make them a lot of money or lose a lot of money'

Honestly I dont think they really should be risking a near 1billion dollar investment in one of their faltering branches. Definitely needed to ensure it doesnt suffer any further but not sure it the wisest thing to do right now.
