Sony will be fine. They are making all the right moves they need to. Their TV business is fucked and making Sony look bad as a whole. They make a nice quality TV, but most people don't give a shit about quality in their TV, just size and price.
This is sadly true. I'm in the market for a new TV right now (40'' or above) and the newest Sony KDL model is $600, which is hard to justify when I can buy another brand like Vizio for $400 or less if I look hard enough. I haven't done any direct comparisons before, but are Sony sets really that much better than their competition? Like, is there such a noticeable difference in picture quality that that extra 150-200 dollars = money well spent?
I have really bad electronics OCD, so if I'm buying Playstation stuff, I want it on a Sony TV. Something to me just doesn't feel right about hooking a PS3/4 up to a Samsung or Vizio set, when the Sony ones are still out there. I have the same issue with smartphones/computers. Yeah, I won't buy an iPhone unless I'm going to get a Mac also to compliment it, but I guess that's more justifiable since everything is based around ecosystems these days.
I'm (functionally) crazy.
