This is cope

you’d have to be incredibly naive to believe playstation doing well this year isn’t a large part of sonys recent growth. It’s over a 3rd of their revenue stream, anything that happens with playstation significantly effects their stock

not to mention all the things tied to playstation, like their other electronics, tv and streaming deals, etc.

:francis: Watching this clip that dropped in October '23 really illustrates how much Sony has fallen off & they won't ever bounce back to the giant that they were:






Sony is one of the most iconic electronics companies of all time. From the Walkman to their modern TVs, Sony has been one of the longest-living electronics companies in the world, but more recently, Sony hasn’t been doing all that well. You see, ever since the turn of the decade, Sony has been slowly losing industry after industry, and during the worst of it, they were actually posting losses for several years. Much of this was due to stiff competition in all of their core industries from players like Apple, Samsung, and LG. But, much of this was also due to questionable leadership that didn’t quite understand the value proposition of Sony. Despite all these headwinds though, it seems that Sony has actually started to make a turnaround. They’re by no means close to their peak but they are in a sustainable profitable position which is a lot better than many of their Japanese peers. This video explains the rise and fall of Sony and what happened to Sony.

I don't think you can compare a cultural phenomenon like the Walkman, to anything Sony is doing now. it also belittles everything in between. the PS1 and PS2 came out between now and the Walkman
