The guy got banned for bringing Microsoft up and trashing them when it has nothing to do with the thread. Any more off topic discussion and Ill hand out a few more bans.

All they had to do was stop making shitty laptops, and fix their TV and phone branches. Ofc PS4 is helping a lot too.

Wow. I got banned like 5 times the month I joined this site. I haven't been banned since, but every day I wonder when it's coming. I'm surprised it hasn't to be honest...

Anyways, this is extremely exciting news! Someone mentioned Sony making a comeback in the movie market, but I don't know ... stuff like Ghostbusters, the new Jumanji, the Emoji movie. I think Spiderman is the only Sony movie i can recall that will be very successful. Still, congrats!

Congrats to Sony. Getting there head above water is a good thing for any brand.

Only feeling this brings me is the relief and satisfaction that there will be continued support for the Sony products I decided to purchase and are still working, but after three broken Z3 compacts, I'm done with Sony Mobile. Good luck to you Sony, I hope you stop making phones with weak phone jack connections and stupid fragile screens.

Plasma TVs can't do 4K, so it's a moot technology now.

Samsung and LG outsell Sony because Sony doesn't release "bottom-tier" TVs like the MU6300 or any 2017 LG below the SJ8500 (Fun fact: Most LG UHD TV's aren't even real UHD due to their insistent use of the RGBW garbage panel). Sony TVs may not sell as well, but it's due to them not compromising on their TVs.

It's great to see both Nintendo and Sony returning to form, at least somewhat. I tend to prefer products from Japanese companies, there just tends to be either a slickness or coolness factor to them.

Kowenicki told us to invest, it was sound advice. I hope you all took it

Did you?

I think they need to exit their Mobile Communications segment ...

Their obviously not cut out to compete against the likes of Apple, Samsung, or chinese manufacturers. Very few players can afford to make profit as it is and that contributes to the high overhead costs of running a mobile business ...

Last year they got lucky because exchange rates were favourable to them but more often than not they lose massive amounts of capital running their mobile business ...

It's time for Sony to call it quits and salvage that segment for as much as it's possible worth because it has way too much volatility to be consistently profitable and the fact that it's an overcrowded market place ...
