Sony
Sony Corporation is one of the best-known names in consumer electronic. Since it was established shortly after World War II, Sony has introduced a stream of revolutionary products, including the transistor radio, the Trinitron television, the Betamax VCR, the CD player, the Walkman portable cassette player, and the PlayStation game console. The company's electronics segment — which includes audio and video products, televisions, personal computers, monitors, computer peripherals, telecommunications devices, and electronic components (such as semiconductors) —generates about two-thirds of the overall revenues. Another 10 percent of revenues are derived from Sony's music businesses, which include the Columbia and Epic record labels.
