Sony abandoned the PC market on Thursday. The Vaio has been an expensive and sometimes lower-than-average spec for many years now; and with the massive increase in tablet sales and the obvious move towards Android for Sony, it makes sense for them to dump the Windows platform and move full-time into mobile devices.
The concern is now focused on their TV market. Again, Sony have been struggling – due to higher prices in a marketplace where specs are met by other manufacturers at lower prices. The Smart TV market is huge but with manufacturers merely linking to digital vendors like Netflix and having to pay big bucks for the privilage, the end result is a lower profit margin.
