change "later entering the home video game console maret with PlayStation" to "later entering the home video game console market with PlayStation". I assume "maret" is a typo Clemens06 (talk) 09:48, 10 February 2025 (UTC)Reply

About describing the company as "mass media conglomerate".

Latest comment: 10 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

In the opening paragraph of the article, Sony is described as "mass media conglomerate". This description is imprecise, as Sony owns and operates businesses in multiple sectors beyond media and entertainment. Jejeo10 (talk) 12:58, 22 September 2025 (UTC)Reply

Pre-2012 Outdated Tense in Business Trends

The sentence "700 jobs will be cut in the 2012–2013 fiscal year and the remaining 300 in the following fiscal year" is written as if the current year is before 2012. The tense needs to be updated. Ash.tahno (talk) 23:16, 12 January 2026 (UTC)Reply
