CM Sunny Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Seems like a smart decision. They need to dump their delusions of being Apple. Their laptops, tablets and TVs are all WAY overpriced above the competition and dont have anything to justify that kind of extra price. The one thing that the article got totally right was the too many product thing. Stop confusing the casual custome ffs, Sony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Assassin Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Seems like a smart decision. They need to dump their delusions of being Apple. Their laptops, tablets and TVs are all WAY overpriced above the competition and dont have anything to justify that kind of extra price. Also,they dont give discounts on their products. Werent Sony the ones who introduced the 90 day no-discount policy on games? Plus they are betting on 3D which IMO is extremely overrated. Sony is the most overrated brand after Apple(even ahead of Apple in India). No wonder Sony has so many fanboys on IVG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Pranay Posted April 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 Add mobiles to that list as well. Xperia S is quite good [tbh its one of their best phones released] and their mobile division is improving. One of Sony's biggest problem is people's perception on them. Apple uses proprietary format BS, just like Sony, but they are fine because they are trendy. When Sony used to be trendy, their proprietary formats were "oh, it's different because it's better". They need to change the way people view them. The guy on the first page saying the Xperia phones were better is a great example. Everybody quickly jumped on him because of Sony's track record with android and xperias. But the phone in question, the new Xperia S (LT26i, the same one i bought recently) is very different from the old models and it is, in fact, better than any iPhone. (not a surprise since it was released to go against the next iteration of iPhones from Apple. The way people are ready to quickly discard them, without even knowing which product they are making, is a lot more serious than the quality of the products they are making it. I don't know how they are going to change this perceived image, but i hope Kaz has at least a plan for this. someone posted on gaf which i agree with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
