Sony will target the Middle East, Europe and East Asia to market its products

BEACON TRANSCRIPT- Sony will target the Middle East, Europe and East Asia to market its products, according to secret investment slides obtained from an investment event in Japan. The company expects the Asia-Pacific region and Latin America to continue generating growth and profits. The business is expected to be downsized in the USA, Brazil, China or India.

The new line of Sony Xperia X products has generated disinterest and apathy, contrary to the expected results. Reviews criticize the high-price for an otherwise good looking and moving flagship phone from Sony Xperia. The Xperia X line was announced in February, but so far it has met criticism because of the low added value of the phones.

While the competition is busy inventing new gadgets, functions, and apps, to keep on top of each other, Sony has not added anything significant, other than price. For example, Samsung takes pride in the cameras they make for their gadgets, while HTC boasts the high-quality software.

The Xperia X Performance is a good flagship phone. It features a Snapdragon 820 quad-core processing unit, with 3GB RAM. The phone runs well and it has a 5-inch display, with LCD and IPS,  and a 23-megapixel camera on the back, a micro SD slot which can take cards with up to 200 GB, and let’s not forget the initial storage, which has 32 GB.

The smart phone comes with a lightweight Android skin and is designed to be water resistant. The gadget has flagship performance, but the price is still too high for these specifications. The device comes with a camera that’s shaky at times and it overheats. Lacking common features such as an extra vent or anti –shaking technology, this Xperia X performance looks good but is overpriced.

Other drawbacks that Sony Xperia X has are low battery life, with only 8 hours of intensive using available, and the low screen resolution, of only 1080 pixels, compared to the gold standard of 4K.

So far, Sony gave some really good smart phones to the market, with high-quality software and good resolutions. But somehow now, it seems to have fallen behind with the competition. It looks like the market is shifting towards Chinese devices, which offer more value for your money. This is probably one of the reasons Sony will target less developed countries from now on.

"Sony Halts Shipping PlayStation TV in Japan"

The Nippon tech company acknowledged that the PS TV set was not popular.

BEACON TRANSCRIPT – Unfortunately, we have a piece of bad news for console fans. Recently, the tech giant Sony announced thatit will stop producing the fairly popular PlayStation Vita TV in Japan. Sony halts shipping PlayStation TV in Japan much to the discontent of some of its fans.

In a recent press statement, Sony announced that it will no longer ship PS TVs in Japan. Unfortunately, the tech giant was pretty vague concerning the global situation, meaning that we don’t know if Sony’s plans of halting production of the TV set is limited to Japan or if it affects the rest of the world as well.

Meanwhile, in the lack of an explanation, we can only speculate on the reasons behind Sony’s move. Well, we all know for a fact that the PS TV was not a big hit on the market. Sony wanted PlayStation Vita TV to be the ultimate home-entertainment gadget. Launched in 2013, PS Vita TV was more than a TV set. Apart from the TV routine, the box-like gadget was also a console and a streaming device.

However, things didn’t turn up as Sony planned. Indeed, you could have used the PS Vita in order to play some games, but, only a few of them. In fact, one of the key factors that led to the Vita’s downfall was that the console couldn’t be used in order to play the latest titles. Well, so much for the gaming console feature.

I mean, why would you buy a 70-dollar “gaming” console to play the same games you would normally play using a PS 1? And for the streaming part, we guess that there are far more reliable and cheap TV sets you can use in order to stream your favorite online channels.

Well, a couple of months after the big event, Sony acknowledge that the TV set wasn’t that popular. And so, they’ve decided to cut out a price a bit. So, for a couple of months, everyone could have gotten the dubious TV/console set for a measly 40 bucks. But, it would seem that even this move couldn’t have saved the console from its fate.

So, recently, Sony announced that it will no longer ship the TV hub in Japan, but did not disclose anything about the rest of the world. If the situation affects the global sales, then it will be pretty hard to find another PS TV on the market.

In fact, the blueprints show that the overall device is so sensitive to the player’s hand motions, that it can even detect the slightest variation in motion.

For instance, the device can tell apart your finger’s movement from your hand’s movement. Moreover, the system recognizes more ample actions such as arching, finger bending, cascade movements and can even tell apart the fingers from your left arm from the fingers of your right arm.

This can be translated as enriched gameplay, meaning that with the same finger you can, for instance, change weapons or open up the map. The trick is how much you will move that finger. Another great innovation brought to us by Sony is the thumb controller patents, which can basically a configurable button.

Unfortunately, apart from this blueprint, the tech company did not disclose any launch date. Furthermore, we can’t even say for sure if the company is currently developing such a devices or if this is just a plan and nothing more.
