Best in it’s Field

By being the first in many areas Sony set the standard for others to follow. “Describing what he called Sony’s ‘pioneer spirit,’ Morita said: ‘Sony is a pioneer and never intends to follow others.” (Dearlove &Crainer 191) The transistor radio, Trinitron color television, compact disc player, and consumer camcorder, all firsts for Sony. “In 1949 the company developed magnetic recording tape and, in 1950, sold the first tape recorder in Japan.” (Dearlove &Crainer 190)

Sony has competitors from various fields. In the gaming world Sony has Play Station, and the competitors are: Sega, Nintendo, and Microsoft. In Audio equipment Sony goes up against Pioneer, Bose, RCA, Apex, Panasonic, and Phillips just to name a few. In the cell phone world there is Sony Ericson, Motorola, Panasonic, Nokia, and others. Sony has competitors in the music world such as BMG Music and Universal. Dell, Gateway, Apple, and Compaq are not the only personal computer providers, Sony has it’s own. The last area that Sony excels in is television and movies which competitors are Viacom, Vivendi, Universal, and Time Warner Studios.

So consumers have a peace of mind knowing that their favorite brand can provide them with most if not all of their electronic needs.
