They are getting their butt kicked in the TV department because their price point is out of touch with reality and Samsung, LG and Panasonic all make a better TV for much less $$$. But somehow Sony is unable to see this and refuse to lower the prices.
Sony has 4 levels of HDTVs. Their lowest cost units are the BX series, and they go on to the EX, HX, and the top of the line XBR. The same thing applies to the competition as well. So, are you comparing the prices of a high end Sony XBR unit against an 'entry' level TV from Panasonic, Samsung, or LG?
In checking the websites for the four companies, I didn't a lot of difference in price of a 40" - 46" class HDTV. Perhaps you saw an ad for a Sony XBR next to a competitor's lower level TV.
Sony is moving into 4K UHDTVs that are very expensive. Sony is making a good profit margin on this type of TV, as they are one of the first players in this segment. However, I saw a report that the 4K UHDTV market will only be about 1% of TV sales for several years.
Not just that, but Samsung and LG have much worse failure rates. Panny is about the same as Sony which is much better than Samsung or LG. I prefer Sony's color over Panny, but have owned both.
Provide an objective scientific link that shows the failure rate for the Samsung and LG sets compared with Sony. Everything I have read on this proves that they all tend to fail at the same rate +/- 2%.
I wouldn't buy a Samsung or LG anything, especially a hard drive. They may have good specs on paper, but the longevity isn't all that good.
Are you trying to make a case for Sony hard drives? There is no such thing as a Sony "made" hard drive. The external ones one sony.com are non-OEM. No sure how we got to discussing Samsung hard drives but since you went there... the Samsung F4 Spinpoint is one of the highest rated hard drives for price, performance and reliability made in the last 5 years. That places it above WD and Seagate. Check out the reviews on Newegg. Additionally the Samsung SSD 830 line is winning hardware awards in just about every PC magazine for 2012. Again the price/performance rating is impressive.
