I feel there is not much competition offered by them for the rest of the fiscal year sony since they have reduced their sales forecast. In any case I feel things will look better for sony than their past. The losses have been significantly reduced so far. Their aquisition of
was only recently completed. If we look at the release date of gx(this weekend in japan) as compared to the announcement of ICS, their product developement seems to be about a year. So its possible that the new phones under sony will not be here before march 2013. But realistically, 2nd half of 2013 is where I bet they will be really competitive.

I guess lots of Ericsson Fans didnt buy sony phones
Nice one there, smclion102!!!
I happen to be one of those Ericsson fans who haven't bought a Sony phone yet.
I will still buy one if it that rumoured quad-core that is resistant to the elements.
The thing is though, Sony needs to take Samsung on. That is the only way to go for them, following will just not do.
I do think MWC 2013 will give us a clear indication as to which direction Sony will be taking.

I don't know whether that smily at the end means you are genuinely surprised or you are sort of winking at me. Didn't you post something about next year's portfolio that included that particular phone? That sounds like the perfect phone for my needs, of course, speaking in terms of full-touch as I am still waiting for a BB10, QWERTY phone from RIM.

I am surprised because I don't remember saying there will be a water resisitant Xperia for International market in 2013
That phone is for Japanese market only.

Sony is in it for the long haul with the Vita. It will slowly build a following with each big game release. That's the strategy.
The XPlay has been canceled?

They didn't do too well but these numbers are still better compared to last year. So no Sony isn't going DOWN. Last year Sony Ericsson shipped only 22 million smartphones in 12 months. This year Sony is already at 15.5 in six months.
Sony Ericsson 2011 Sales:
Q1 - 8.1 million devices
Q2 - 7.6 million phones
Q3 - 9.5 million handsets
Q4 - 9 million phones
34.4 million Xperia smartphones sold for 2011
Please, get your facts straight!

Not all sales in 2011 are from smartphones. Now in 2012 they are. Sony (Ericsson) shifted their focus and stopped producing any non-smarphones. Also the average sales prices should be higher now, together with the gross margin.

Well, I am willing to bet my last money that that phone will cross the borders of Japan. The fact that they had the Active and now the go tells me they are likely to give us a high-end rugged phone for the worldwide market.
