So variable
When they get it right Sony get it really right, when they get it wrong well you all know what happens.
As someone whose entire tube TV purchasing history has been Trinitron based (remember those lovely FD Trinitrons from the 1990s) you do tend to watch what they are up to.
Back in the 80s and early 90s Sony kit had this aura of quality, which to be honest was earned, look at the home video market, was there ever a video recorder as well engineered as the SL-C9? Their last PAL deck was a rather good one, brilliant picture and sound but was not as well engineered as the C9.
They have managed to turn technical successes into commercial failures. They tried too hard for the cheap market where to be honest they are crap. I still cannot work out how they managed to screw Minidisc.
The TV division may make losses but their TVs are still good, among the better ones, losing that would be rather sad. But people want cheap not quality, look what happened to Pioneer.
HiFi - best to completely give up the cheap crap and stick with upmarket portables, mid range Home Cinema, and esoteric HiFi.
Viao best gone, stylish but they are not a PC company.
Imaging, well this is a core market, they need to work on this.
Games, they need to deliver on these games they promised.
Phones, make proper use of their imaging and audio brands, and their styling and really go for it
It used to be that if you bought something from Sony, you knew it would be good, it would last, and it would look stylish, now it is buyer beware.
They have a long haul ahead of them, but I think they have the reserves to make it.
