I can't imagine that at one point Japanese was synonymous with cheap and breakable.

[@MonitorSquad]

thats because u like to be spoon fed by others.

[@brickman409]

I bet one day people are going to say that they couldn't imagine a time when products from China were considered cheap and breakable.

[@MrCordycep]

So was Korean, German and American made products at one stage. It's pretty common for developing countries to move up the value chain as they become more wealthy.

[@captain150]

Not long ago, South Korean products were considered crap. Now Samsung and LG are making excellent stuff, and Hyundai cars have made vast improvements in quality. I'm willing to bet China will be the next in the line. 20 years from now we'll consider Chinese products to be of much higher quality.

[@KuraIthys]

It's been true of most countries at some point or another. Britain had exactly that reputation during the very early days of the industrial revolution, but only like a 50-100 years later it was America that had that reputation. Then it was Japan... Then china... This is a thing that shifts from country to country as they develop their industry. Seems to be a phase countries go through.

[@ljyljy88]

@@ayuchanayuko Can't blame them for an aging population. Its really telling when MS discontinuing support for XP was massive news there. Was reading Japanese comments and I kid your not they were some arguing that the MS-DOS at thier workplace was plenty good enough to do the needed tasks in a corporate setting. One commenter said that Windows ME was an awesome OS that he misses. You can see what the average computer literacy rate is like. I have no idea why the idea of Japan as some hyperfuturistic corner of the world still persists 20 years past its heyday. But you can tell when you visit Japan that some things feels really old. Like 1980's old.

[@ayuchanayuko]

@@ljyljy88 I guess it more of how they value functionality over looks. If it gets the job done, why upgrade? If the newer software and the older one can perform the same task at roughly the same time, Sans the design refresh, why upgrade?

[@PurushNahiMahaPurush]

I remember Sony used to be an absolute juggernaut in the 90s and early 2000s. Their Sony Ericsson walkman phones, Sony walkman music players, Sony Bravia TVs, Sony DVD players, Sony Playstation consoles (PSP, PS1 and PS2) and even their Viao laptops used to be top notch. Some of the best quality stuff in the world. Somewhere down the line, they started becoming arrogant and as a result, stagnant. The most infamous example of this was the PS3 and the seemingly infinite amount of money they spent on the Cell processor.

[@RobertK1993]

Cell Processor was very powerful CPU by early 2000s in decline thanks to Noibuykei Idei Sony CEO 1999-2005.

[@elysiumcore]

Not just Sony, the whole tech industry for the most part is stagnant. Apple, Nikon, Canon all need to step their games up. Invest in new battery technologies, design new products etc. Sony is doing ok as far as mirrorless cameras but due to most people having cellphone cameras.. most would not spend $1200 on a camera. Hence that industry is suffering too. Look at what is happening with Nikon, as much as I love them, they need innovation too.

[@ImBarryScottCSS]

elysiumcore Tech industry is stagnant... This is factually incorrect, tech industry is growing at the fastest rate it ever has.

[@mattkirby1557]

elysiumcore yeah the tech industry is the fastest growing industry at the moment

[@ALIENdrifter66]

elysiumcore They are all stationary because we have already bought all products and we don't need more. Also in terms of cameras they dont try to sell them to simple smarphone users as that doesn't make sense because even if you lower the prizes they arent't going to buy them. That's why they(and all the other camera manufacturers) aim for the ones that need that kind of equipement

[@CoffeeD_1]

as far as i know, their camera market is growing

[@jeus_saaa]

Not really, Sony also owns the imaging sensor market in smartphones. That's why the brand Exmor is so widely available and used in so many smartphone cameras. They also produce camera sensors for Nikon and Hasselblad. They're alive and still innovating.

[@rajineravichandran3091]

That is why cleverly Apple have narrowed down to only focus on few products for Apple to prevent being too diverse and causing them a management problem. Good tactics by Apple and importantly Steve Jobs' tactic that saved Apple.

[@NatureShy]

+GG Apple led in the personal computer category back in the day. Not anymore, I agree, but they have always been innovative in terms of design and their operating system. I don't use Apple products for their technology, I use Apple products for their well designed body, user interface, and operating systems. If you're not a graphic designer, I couldn't expect you to understand these things. ;) As long as Apple doesn't ruin their perfect OS, I will always buy Apple products. I have the iPhone 6s, and I just bought the 27" 5K iMac (all specs maxed out, aside from the storage. I prefer using an external hard drive.) Apple will do well for the longterm future because their customers love using Apple products. For many of us, it would take a LOT to push us away from Apple. And it's not because we're "fans," but rather we prefer the Apple OS and ecosystem.

Over these 25 years we only needed to repair it thrice which collectively cost us 1200 INR (somewhere around $13) and that too because of our own carelessness. We still don't have any LED TVs and Sony has long stopped producing CRT TV and its components so if someday we need to replace any part, we simply can't. That would be the end of our 25 year old TV. A big part of my 17 years of existence.... Me and my brother have decided that when we buy a TV it would be of Sony.

Sony walkman is truly unforgettable. I hope sony can be back to the spotlight and they can lower their price. haha

[@CoolHardLogic]

Sony also made the mistake in the mid-2000s of having far too many phones that were basically all the same just in different cases. Dozens of the bloody things. Apart from a few stand-out models, you didn't really see people with Sony phones. Also when they did invent things they tended to keep them so they only worked with Sony gear. That kind of lock-in didn't appeal and nobody wanted MemoryStick, particularly when USB sticks worked with all their devices.

[@MrTruth111]

So true, Sony was always uptight about hardware. They made a huge mistake with BetaMax also in the past.

I bought a Sony cam and wanted to download my video to my Vaio laptop, the laptop and the Sony cam was expensive already on its' own and l was not happy being 'forced' to buy their cable to link the two. The damn cable costing me about $40 at the time (U.K2008), it was a lot of money then and still is today! I no longer had the laptop but l still got the Sony cam and the useless cable!! 😲 After that, never buy Sony again!!

[@Real_MisterSir]

And let's not forget that Tesla are not just a manufacturer, they are an inventor, hence why most of their tech is open source. They aren't really in the game to compete, they are in it to actually establish a solid ground upon which the regular companies can get it going and compete with each other. Elon Musk is not in it for the money (at least that's not his main priority), so someone needs to outsmart them and surpass with an equally innovative mindset.

[@satoau1]

this misses most of the underlying reasons, which have been reported regularly here in japan over the years. not your fault of course, it was in japanese after all! for decades all japanese electronics companies focused on the 3 "sacred items" essential to every japanese household - the tv, fridge, and washing machine. that worked for a long time, until i think it was about the mid 2000's, when they all (sony included) dropped into the red and were sinking further and further into it. they consulted their learned university professors, who consulted their texts and reported back that electornics companies should build tvs, fridges, and washing machines, since those are the 3 "sacred items" that every japanese household needs. seriously, that happened. they've since continued on that track they were advised to follow, and they're still doing terribly. sharp is the currently doing the worst i think, receiving huge cash injections regularly from the government, followed by jvc, and even panasonic. the reason for this is that japan just doesn't get the concept of progress. everyone thinks japan is really high-tech but it's quite the opposite. almost nothing is invented here, what they do is study things others have invented, then do their own version but do it really well. just like the trinitron tvs in the piece, they didn't invent the projection system or any major parts, they just built everything very accurately. the underlying reason behind this lack of ability to move forward was covered in another news story i read more recently, on why so many japanese innovators have moved to silicon valley to start their own business, rather than getting jobs at the already established japanese giants. they said they went for jobs there but were all refused, told they "didn't understand how japanese electronics firms operate." this mindset begins in school, where the system still follows the 'learn from the master, and you too will be a master' mentality. every class in every subject is just taking notes while the teacher talks the entire time (just like every country was doing up until the 60's when it was phased out in favour of more effective and thoughtful styles), so kids never have to figure anything out. not only that but also if anyone does get any ideas, they are immediately referred to the textbook written by many learned university professors, where the correct answer is plainly written. what you end up with is a country of people unable to even contemplate doing just as they been doing up till now. it's such a shame that all that potential is either quashed or thrown away.

[@strawberrymanga9]

Yeah. As much I love Sony and Japan for all they're achievements their society is just... ugh! Not the worst by a long shot but still... No wonder the Japanese education system is brutal!

[@emp0rizzle]

It's true. My father immigrated to the US in 1982 from Japan. He told me because Japan is a rigid society where only people who went to elite schools or come from elite families are successful. For example a woman who has a child is expected by society to give up her career and become a house wife. So you give young women in Japan 2 choices; have a career or have a child and guess what most of them choose? Career. So no babies. Now the demographics is all messed up because more people die than are being born. People like Steve Jobs, Bill Gates would have never made it in Japan and that's a bad thing! Japanese society doesn't value individuals.

When a company has to down size, reduce the size of staff, it is very difficult for management to keep the vibe alive, the winning spirit. I assume that people who work for Samsung feel great about it, they feel that if they make great contributions the next promotion is in sight. They feel that everything is on the up. I am certain that Sony employees once felt that way, but with staff sizes being reduced, how can one live the spirit that promotions are forthcoming as the company grows? This spirit has a great impact on a company's performance. Sony used to be fast and very adaptive to changes in consumer market demands, a steady stream of new and/or updated products catered to the latest trends. They are not anymore and it is why they could not secure a winning market share position in computers and cell phones, those items change too rapidly for a company with a tarnished spirit. When you have excellent market share in computers and mobiles it foot prints your brand everywhere and that greatly influences consumers. If I were to buy a new stereo/sound system for my living room, I would be inclined psychologically to look at Samsung models. There are no factual reasons to assume that Samsung makes particularly great products in that segment but because I see their phones, tablets and TV's everywhere, I am stirred in that direction. This is a position in marketing dynamics that Sony once had and no longer has. It is not too late, Sony still has great and reputable branding (and great resources), they can achieve any level of success. They have to become aggressive, agile, hungry and nimble again. That is what it will take.

I spent almost my entire working life in the consumer electronics trade. I was a big fan of Sony from when I was 15 years of age and I used to walk past a shop that sold Sony Hi Fi. My dream was to own a TA 88 amplifier. I worked in the electrical department of a store that only sold British and German brands. When I came to London aged 17 I had not lost my fascination with consumer electronics and after persuading a shop to give me a job I brought my TA88 amplifier. I could talk about my long life in trade but it goes to say I still have the TA88 amplifier and some other pieces of Sony equipment. I still use my Sony J5e mobile phone today and I have no need of an iPhone. As you say Sony became to large to innovate in the way it used to. A good example is that some of the British brands that have survived and prospered like Quad, B&W and SME are premium brands that stuck to their guns and continued to make what they originally gained their reputations from.

It was kinda sad during its decline and hope that they could turn the tide and stay. I'm waiting for their next innovation.

That was Rowan Atkinson (Mr Bean) at 1:44 ...He was born in 1955, so that is like the 1990s I suppose.

I doubt Sony would employ anyone who can’t write.

[@ledparinify]

goa clean I've had sony devices in the past. walkman, discman, sony Ericsson phone (before smartphones exists) and I can say that durability is still sony's strength. When sony smartphones came in it's just too pricey so I've never had the chance to own one. But after watching this I will definitely go for a sony smartphone next year.... I can't buy the latest but I will purchase one that will suit me.

In 2013, Sony rolled out A7 and 7R cameras and has since the undisputed leader of the mirrorless full frame camera game. Canon and Nikon only joined the game recently.

[@RobertK1993]

Canon a very popular brand.

[@dadude4960]

Sony is quite safe. they have recently entered the camera market with their low light fucking beasts in the form of the a7 series (owner of one myself). they produce exactly every type of electronics used in a household. a department can collapse and go bankrupt, but it's gonna be hard for entire Sony to disappear.

[@dadude4960]

btw. i would not buy a Sony camera or lenses that weren't manufactured in either Japan or Germany as today (Zeiss). a product that costs this much, need to be a quality product.

[@gechogo]

@@MrWalker1000 welp, for the current market in mobile smartphone, SONY new smartphone for me little bit to expensive than others.. Than, a lot of competitors out there give a good spech, audio quality, visual, and camera with a reasonable price like pocophone.. new smartphone, XPERIA XZ3 price around 8++ USD with 4gb of ram and no headphone jack it's kinda expensive to me.. I really dissapointed to SONY.. Currently i use xperia z5 for almost 2 years and wanna upgrade to galaxy note 9.. But i hope SONY will rise and create a new phone that can gave a "reasonable" price to us..
