  • SONY CORP Profile

    All eyes and hands are on Sony -- or, more likely, on its high-profit consumer electronics products and gaming systems. While PlayStation ousted Nintendo from the top spot in the home game system market in the mid-1990s, the disappointing debut of PlayStation 3 in late 2006 has the two companies dueling. Sony also makes a host of other products, including digital and video cameras, Walkman stereos, and semiconductors. Sony's entertainment assets include music (Sony BMG Music and Epic), motion pictures (Sony Pictures Entertainment and Sony Pictures Digital), DVDs (Sony Pictures Home Entertainment), and TV programming (Sony Pictures Television).
