Japan’s record trade deficit raises fresh DOUBTS about ABENOMICS !

[Aepsilons]

If the Japanese companies can't make mass products the consumers can afford, they simply produce off target. Sure, there are plenty of rich people who can afford high-end consumer products, but they would rather buy a Ferrari, Leica or Miele, even in the high end hi-fi category, there are plenty of European brands to choose from.

They produce many products that are considered low end commodities, to high end commodities.

European brands such as Ferrari, Rolls Royce are super duper high end commodities. I don't the average Takeshi or the average Joe can afford a $300,000 Rolls Royce , or a $200,000 Maybach. lol

For a fraction of that amount, Takeshi can afford a $80,000 Toyota Land Cruiser, or a $70,000 Infiniti QX80,

2014 Infiniti QX80, starting at $70,000

2014 Toyota Land Cruiser, starting at $80,000

The quality is not good anymore.

Sony does not make panels for lcd tv's anymore(makes it under collaboration as jdc)
Sony does not make any processors (arm based)
Sony does not have any oled or amoled television while both samsung and lg have got functional 55 inch amoled tv's

And u know what,,,10 years back sony was the 1 st brand that came out with oled tv(kuro i think)........32 inch oled tv

Its loosing in pretty much everything................this year the net income in 1.2 billion$ for sony compared to 30 for samsung



U obviously are as away from tech as a person living on moon

The last time I bought a Japanese electronic product was like 10 years ago. I either buy a German electronic product (white goods, car), other European products (fashion) or Chinese products if I can't find a European equivalent.

I have seen some high end Chinese stereos in some posh hi-fi shops. But I just can't decide yet to buy one. Maybe because I'm still happy with my old German made one.

Interestingly enough, these two vehicles are popular in...Europe and North America.
