Sony dreams of its old glory

Sony ain't the mighty wealthy giant that it was in the days of yore. The last financial results from the company revealed that net profits were down 23%.
The Japanese giant hopes to get back 13% with the sales of flat screens TVs.
In the recent past, Sony missed the train on 2 major technology shifts :
- MP3 players, mainly because the subsidiary Sony Music was not so hot for it and they were pushing their own compression format ATRAC.
- Plasma TV (they are currently using Samsung matrix)
