Company Overview


Company: Sony Corporation
Industry: Consumer Electronics
Website: http://www.sony.net

All eyes and hands are on Sony -- or, more likely, on its high-profit consumer electronics products and gaming systems. While PlayStation ousted Nintendo from the top spot in the home game system market in the mid-1990s, the disappointing debut of PlayStation 3 in late 2006 has the two companies dueling. Sony also makes a host of other products, including digital and video cameras, Walkman stereos, and semiconductors. Sony's entertainment assets include music (Sony Music Entertainment and Epic), motion pictures (Sony Pictures Entertainment and Sony Digital Production), DVDs (Sony Pictures Home Entertainment), and TV programming (Sony Pictures Television).
