Thread 213755383

Among all the zaibatsu that dominated Japanese industry in the 1980s and 1990s, why did only Sony remain a major player in consumer electronics to the current day?

Hitachi, Panasonic, Fujitsu, Toshiba, Onkyo, Yamaha, Pioneer.... why did they all slowly fade instead of adapting??

>>213755383 (OP)
You raise an interesting question. Let's meet up to discuss, I'll fax you the details.

I think they are still around doing B2B

My company buys lots from sumitomo

>>213755383 (OP)
electronics are harder than simpler stuff like AC units and blenders. Yes I know both use electronics, but neither use cutting-edge stuff.

>>213755383 (OP)
are you blind?
Hitachi, Panasonic, toshiba, & yamaha still amke a lot of shit

I asked about consumer electronics retards

didn't read the thread OP award for you three

>>213755383 (OP)
I still see a lot of Toshiba and Panasonic stuff. Also an answer is that the Koreans and Chinese were able to put similar stuff out at lower cost. A big draw for Japanese electronics was low cost plus high feature.

>>213757330
fuck does "customers electronic" means anyway?

>>213757330
you sounded as if you are implying that those companies are all dead, mutt retard. next time phrase it better burger fatbrain.

CONSUMER ELECTRONICS
how are you so stupid you don't understand what that means

OP thinks cheap electronics are still relevant in today's economy lol. Hitachi is twice bigger company than Xiaomi which is supposed to be an electronics giant.

>>213757539
He phrased it adequately but he could stand to learn that sperging out isn't conducive to getting an answer

Yamaha is HUGE and also makes engines and motorcycles.
Pioneer still makes radios and speakers for cars.

>>213755383 (OP)
Most of them are still around, stupid mutt

>>213755383 (OP)
as of AC, pick Daikin

>>213755383 (OP)
you need to be 18 or above to post here

>>213759792
midea is better :)
>>213759752
but they don't dominate consumer electronics

>>213760926
Yeah, Daikin just slaughtered that Midea in market share and Midea is just a Toshiba China spinoff just like any other chink crap

>>213755383 (OP)
Pioneer used to make good vcd/dvd player back in the day, used to have it in '02
Panasonic still made some air conditioner to this day

>>213755383 (OP)

>>213761185
You dad is absolutely right. This is the most recent consumer report about guk tech. lol

>>213759792

Insane how Apple and Samsung utterly dominated the Japanese phone market

Japs can't even imagine using a Sony Xperia or whatever
