They need their cash to buy more companies, as per some fanboy opinions.

They should buy Nintendo, then they'd have plenty of money.



You can find me on facebook as Markus Van Rijn, if you friend me just mention you're from VGchartz and who you are here.

Great idea. They only need to come up with $50 billion more in cash and they're all set :P

And I believe the next big thing in TV - the OLED technology will give Sony a true run for its Bravia profits - Samsung is catching up very quickly. Its already happening - they have to be at a more competitive price for their Electronics products which will dent their margins.

This has led to their strategy of raising the prices for Electronics - so they are banking on the sales volume to stay constant with higher prices. I think this wont turn out well because of the competition as I mentioned earlier - but who knows, the Bravia LCD still sells alot.

 

you do know that LCD production for Sony/Samsung is joint venture right?  Most of the differences between the 2 sets are processing engines and asthetics.  Their joint venture in lcd technology/production is also strenghtening and is why both brands of TV's are almost always priced nearly identically.

That might change after Sony's reports that it will adjust pricing in America and Europe to account for the strengthening yen.

That's it ?

not even 10% of the workers, fanboys ca get excited if they were to slash it by half.



roflol...fanboys usually aren't very good at understanding RL issues...that's why they think it's just a snap and a no-brianer to drop prices at will.

Man that is not true at all

10% would be mind-numbingly horrifying
