If it's one thing Sony has going for it, it's that their in-house designed and built hardware is generally flawless.
Of all the MiniDiscs, consoles, sound systems, and Blu-ray Disc players I have owned - the only flaws Sony has ever made have been in the software; never the hardware. They are a hardware shop, first and foremost.
Then you probably did not touch any PS2, Sony TV and HIFI. Some of us who were active on several different PS1/PS2/PS3 sites could tell you horror stories how Sony consoles worked. Their lasers, manufacturing and also the hardware design were quite questionable if you ask me.
Don't get me wrong but Sony just build the same low quality things as other manufacturers do. They do not care about QUALITY but QUANTITY only, so do the others. Who needs things that work for 10 years when you can sell the very same shit twice or more, as when the warranty is over the repair is not worth the price.
