I see a lot of parallels with the top Japanese companies now. What has Sony done in the last 20 years apart from video games? They don't even have a worthwhile display technology anymore.

Well...Sony HAS had a LOT of "Duds" over the decades..Lately--AIBO was probably one of their biggest. But They HAVE had ONE "win"" lately--BLu-RaY, was mostly Sonys, after all. And Sony "coasted" on the Trinitron for 30 YEARS!!
