its more that they used to have good products worth the higher price tag.
Now they have decent products for high end prices.

Samsung make Sony TV's now I believe. They need to concentrate on the playstation, their future lies in gaming consoles imo.

No companies future lies in gaming consoles.

Im not too satisfied with my Vaio.

They have been a bad company for a while now. The only product of theirs I would ever buy is playstation but there isn't many options when it comes to consoles. I like Microsoft even less.

either that or the scrapheap. Nintendo seem to do alright.

Microsoft and Sony actually lose money on their consoles for quite a bit before actually turning a profit from what I recall

They lose money on the consoles in order to make money from the games.

They used to be great, but then they got big-headed and used proprietary formats for everything.

not as much as previous generations.

sony said after ps+ and a game, so essential 2 games, or 1 and some digital games (without PS+) and they have a profit.

I've said this over and over. Sony is an insurance company, they have been for a long time now. If they want to focus on their most profitable business unit they should just focus on their insurance business.

Samsung is the king for screens. Even iPhone gets their screens from Samsung.

Can you provide me with evidence that Samsung TV's are not made by LG?

I really want to hush this clown

Quit buying Sony(minus the PS console) after they launched that horrid Sony X-Plode car audio line.
