    Frist of all, the differences between Matsushita and Sony’s products is one of the primary reason that makes their decision various. In the reading, it reveals that Matsuhita was focusing more on the low-tech products such as NN-MX20WF (their new model mocrowave oven), DVD player, automatic washers and 29-inch TVs.

Indeed, Sony has successfully at commercializing new technologies into innoative products such as the transistor radio, tape recorder, Beta- Max video recorder, CD, Walkman, minidisk, DVD and even camera and camcorder.
