Successful, since when?

since the walkman.

i think it would have been better for both companies if apple never released the ipod and sony just gave them 60 billion dollars :laugh:

anyway, sony makes cool lcd's. they are glossy, probably not nice to own, but they look really good in the stores. they also make some of hte best mp3 players, but the ATRAC crap just killed the entire line.

like it or not,

Sony = 1st CRT tv/display to be flatscreen

Sony = 1st set of decent portable audio systems

Sony = high quality pc's which rivals the apple brand in terms of cosmetics.

Sony have generally done very well. if you're paying a premium for their kit it's because you want to own it when it's 1st released at which point it's new techology.

sony have changed the gaming market for good with their marketing. 5.1 systems probably wouldn't be so popular if sony hadn't mae the DAV systems and also bear in mind...

Sony make the best remotes for the kit they sell. sure seems like a small point, but how many times havbve you lot bought panasonic, hitachi phillips etc to find the buttons are crappy and tiny and impossible to find for the common features?

think about it.

I would have to say second best. I find it a little difficult to navigate with my Sony DVD player, much easier with my Toshiba. But they are deffinitely better than Panasonic. My father owns a panasonic DVD + VCR combo, it took me 15 minutes to figure out how much time was left until the movie was over. They have the pause button grouped with the uncommon features (slow mo, display) and the smallest button on the remote is the rewind and fast forward buttons. They are deffinitely some of the worst remote designers ever.

Mybe if they stopped making crappy, over-priced products that break after a year or so, they wouldn't be in this situation.

Agreed

There are always Panasonic and Toshiba alternatives that aren't as over-priced.

+ Sony never shares their technology with anyone.

MD

Some Tape or Record Disc people don't use anymore (forced other companies to make video tapes)

etc...

And now MD's aren't as popular, they try to come out with crappy mp3 players that can only play an exclusive format encoded by some Sony software.

They sort of deserve it having everything wayy over-priced.

These technology stuff are already over-priced, they make it even more expensive.
