Why Sony is going to hell

[ViPER1313]

I think their quality has gone down hill in recent years as well. I bought a Sony Discman back in the 3rd grade that lasted me all the way through high school. Even with 3 second ESP the thing skipped less than my friends players with 40+ second memory buffers. The bass boost on it sounded great, it cranked, and it was indestructible, so when it finally gave up the ghost after 8 years I bought another Sony. This one likes to skip on poor quality CDs, the presets on the EQ sound fake and it just feels flimsy overall. I bought a Sony head unit for my car a year ago, it has problems tracking with all but the cleanest CDs and the audio quality is lacking. On top of that, they have horrible reliability ratings on their laptops, their PS2 PS units liked to catch on fire, and now their batteries are causing one of the largest recalls in history. Just too bad.
