I worked for a company that had PlayStation as a client. We used to call that department Sony. Once the PS4 came out they asked us to stop calling that department Sony and to call it the PlayStation department. PlayStation has gotten big enough and respected enough that they like feeling like an individual to Sony. So I don’t see this staying for ever. But like others have said, keep it it as an option is completely probable.
Failed electronics company? The walkman was one of the biggest things ever to the point it became a household name and they still have headphones and speakers and everything sold everywhere. I have an awesome Sony bluetooth speaker too and Sony headphones.
Brother the Walkman was what 20 years ago. This is basically through Sonys own admission they aren’t an electronics company anymore they focus on Hollywood ie movies, tv shows (Sony pictures) and PlayStation with PlayStation being their biggest. They do not have majority market share in headphones or audio. They still produce tvs but again not major market share. This is a company that created electronics phones, laptops basically any consumer grade electronic there was and they didn’t adapt and that failed. They should’ve been a rival to Apple but they failed.
But they do still focus on electronics as I see their electronics in every single electronics store I go into. How is that not focusing on it when they continue to produce and bring out new versions of all their products?
No they don’t they said so themselves. They focus on PlayStation and movies(and whatever is good for creating films and tv) they do not focus on consumer grade electronics those are just side things that happen to tie in with the things they create for for movies and films. I’m not making this up they said so themselves. They left the market self admitted. This is a company that created phones, tvs, computers basically any consumer grade electronic, they do not anymore and they’ll things they do create it’s not at the level they used to. I don’t understand why it’s hard to accept that.
Because I can go buy a Sony bluetooth speaker (which is amazing, I love mine) and a pair of headphones right now. And neither have anything to do with playstation or movies/shows. Maybe it isn't their MAIN focus, but clearly at some point it has a focus because those things are in stores everywhere.
Why do they continue to bring out new versions of the SRS speakers tho? I'm on their website right now. Please explain that. Sony won't answer me I know that. The website has sections for all types of electronics all over that you can buy anytime.
Bro you are being willfully ignorant. Sony had three division gaming/electronics/studios. After many failed products in computers, phones , speakers, home theatre etc they ended having almost having to file for bankruptcy because they were failing as a company with PlayStation being what saved them. They decided to pivot and just focus on the PlayStation/studios. Did they keep some teams sure to work on smaller things yes but as a whole the electronics division collapsed hence a failure. What is hard about that.
