Random thought here. I was never really a fan of Sony. It's kinda like the United States of the electronic world. Claims it is the best at everything (and perhaps it is) and puts it's nose everywhere it can.
I like companies that have their own little field and they are great at it. Companies that have a reputation for their one type of product. Examples for subfields in audio:
-Want a sound card? Creative. They have been putting out the best and the most wildly used ones for decades.
-Want nice speakers? Bose. Well known and excellent quality.
-Want an MP3 player? Apple. Self explanatory really. Sure there are other brands, but c'mon, Apple wins.
Want video games, Nintendo..yes others have come and gone but Ninty has stood the test of time and are iconic with video games.
Then there's Sony. They want to make everything and anything. They want to make speakers, radios, plasma TVs, watches, etc. I was reading a magazine and saw an add for Sony cameras that read "No other Camera Company can match our quality" The nerve of them! Canon and Nikon rightfully dominate that field, not some electronics company that specializes in... um... What does Sony actually specialize in anyway? In what field can you say "Yup, Sony will be remembered for that. Some may say the Playstation but in a 100 years I'm pretty sure Nintendo will be the one referred back to and the one going down in the history books.
