Sony Doomed, Panasonic MORE Doomed

[Maz7006]

sure Kaz will be able to pick things up at Sony hopefully.

I wonder what this all means to the future of such said companies

I know that panasonic and sharp have quite a comprehensive appliances "section" - maybe that can fill in the gap

no it means their are gonna tighten their grip on their media and probably go anti piracy crazy.

 

[Rock Raiyu]

I never knew the TV business could bleed so much money.

I hope all three business can turn this around.

it's the other way around

 

[shakirmoledina]

is it not due to the disasters? sony said the reason was japan earthquake and panasonic said it was the thailand disaster. i bet u the numbers wouldnt have been so high if disasters hadnt occured

 

[DiscostewSM]

Sega does what Nintendon't.

Then there's Sony, but let's not get into that.

 

[Foxi4]

Then there's Sony.

Not to mention literally every company that operates out of Japan has been getting completely screwed by the yen. I know Nintendo got some pretty harsh losses despite rather fantastic 3DS software sales (hardware sales don't help them).

It's the strong yen that screw them and I wouldn't be surprised to see Sony drop out of TVs. They still have major holds in music and film so they've got their fingers in enough pies. Hopefully they have some fire sale on those budget 3D TVs, I wouldn't mind getting one.

Mostly because big corporations money doesn't 100% come from sales rather from long and short term investments with excess capital. Nintendo had for a long time a bunch of money that they were just kind of sitting on and investors always complained why they didn't have better financial investments, long story short it caught up to them when the yen got strong. Anyway poeple buy sharp tvs? The only time I see them are at walmart, cheap tvs aren't going to be very profitable.

That sucks, I always liked Panasonic. They had some pretty good quality products! Oh well...

Sony's Tv line were overpriced and behind compared to Samsung. In all honesty as @_prowler said the only Tv's anyone buys are Samsung now.

last i heard samsung wasn't doing well in the television sector. they had to sell their tvs at very low profit to compete with lg.

Isn't LG about to release those higest resoloution Tv's ever made? They had them at CES.

I have a Samsung television in my bedroom and I love it.
My parents have a Sony television in the living room and it's not as good.

What does strong yen mean anyway?

it means that their profits from selling to other countries like the US is less because our money to them is worthless

 

[Ultymoo]

I'm not surprised that Sharp is on that list for losses. Their TVs are utter crap... At the place I used to work, commercials would constantly be up to demo them, and on more than a few the Sharps would cut out on the picture.

Even crappier than Westinghouse or Coby? Never thought that would be possible.

Now you're making me think of another brand we had that was nothing but pure ass. We had them as a black friday special and only sold about ten.

 

[Dr Eggman]

Sony, Sharp, Panasonic - all LCD tv makers. All have losses.

y u no glasses free / passive 3d???

Also, Sharp, what about their "Quattron" 4colour pixel technology (yellow pixels)?
