Sony merges TV, camera, audio and phone divisions as phones continues struggling

Sony Global
The phone division has been hemorrhaging for a good while, I am surprised they didn't just sell of their phone line.

They just need to be more aggressive about making every character in every Sony film use Sony™ brand smartphone and listen to music on Sony™ brand headphones

It's ok, Goodisnezon will eventually buy it and all tech companies in the near future anyways.

I like my XA2 Ultra a whole lot but sony is really shit at software. This thing was supposed to get Android Pie a month ago but it's been delayed indefinitely because it was bricking people's devices when it piloted in Russia.

I'm pretty sure PlayStation is the only thing keeping them afloat nowadays.

[Octane]

I guarantee it is. When was the last time you saw anyone using anything from Sony that wasn't a bottom of the barrel product?

[Swilly]

They have an entire Insurance branch that keeps them afloat.

[Azelf89]

To be fair, I’ve never heard of their insurance branch either. So you can’t really blame him for being “blinded by fanboyism”, when I don’t think that many people outside of Japan have heard of it either.

[Swilly]

The only reason why I slapped Vin is because they have routinely posted misinformed or one sided information; repeatedly. They have a hate boner for Sony, anything posted about the company has them crashing in.

[Paul-Simon]

Professional and consumer Sony cameras are great, actually.
Their phones are nice too.

[VinLAURiA]

I actually was aware of their insurance division. It's just that since it's Japan-only, I'd have imagined that it'd be far behind the global juggernaut that is PlayStation as their main financial lifeline...

[Kagamiku]

well, and the financial services groups of a lot of these Japanese conglomerates are more focused on keeping money from employees inside the company, than attracting business from outside it.
