Sony is hit very badly!!!

That's not surprising, given the state of the economy is in right now.. Everybody is suffering, and not only sony.. All those big companies, such as Ford, chylser are in big trouble too.. But luckily that US government is willing to bail them out and thus they are still surviving.. The same thing goes for japan, they are hit very badly too.. Sony is well known for their products and thus it's more expensive as compared to other brands.. So when that happens, everybody will be looking for cheaper alternatives and thus sony is losing out..

actually i don't know this topic until i read your writing, so maybe i should pay more attention to news.. but i think there's similarity with korean economics condition that really dominated by samsung and LG.. maybe if one of them crushed, the whole country will feel the effect... and for sony, i think that's because the ability of people to buy sony product is decreasing because everyone is try to save more on this crisis.. and i think that many of sony product now is not selling well in teh market, for example PS3.. that's my foolish opinion :D
