Sony is no longer an interesting brand to buy. With the prices that they charge for their ancient products, I would never buy Sony. There are so many better things to buy than Sony.

Probably too 'handy' to writeoff the malfunction of SONY. How many 'Sony' branded gadgets we buy are genuinely made in Japan ? Today's situation is resulted from the long-term strategies set by their management 5~10 years ago when Sony was sitting on the peak of its brand power with no close challengers, hence why bother ? This scenario was exactly the arrogent attitude of Detroit's Big Three decades ago towards the then modest Toyota ?
