Panasonic not adopting Sony strategy
The Osaka-based company behind Panasonic-brand products is taking a clearly different approach from longtime rival Sony Corp., which unveiled a new PlayStation 2 last week that combines features such as a DVD recorder and TV tuner with the game console.
“We think the demands are subtly different so in our strategy we will develop them separately,” said Kazuo Toda, Matsushita senior managing director.
Toda said the company’s analysis shows games and entertainment don’t really mix and products that tried to do that didn’t sell too well. Matsushita will continue to work with Nintendo Co. on game machines and there is no change in that strategy, he told reporters at a Panasonic showroom in Tokyo.
