...PlayStation too-has gone adrift in an age of increasing competition and digital convergence. Its core electronics business, which accounts for more than 60% of revenue (but lost $339 million last year), has been beset by successful competitors in virtually all its product lines, ranging from Samsung televisions to Kodak digital cameras. Most humiliating, Sony lost its leadership in portable music players by failing to capitalize on the popularity of MP3 files, a gap that Apple's iPod-an idea that would once have shrieked "Sony!"-has exploited spectacularly. The Japanese company has been in turmoil ever since April...

"We're involved in a really exciting transition," he tells them. "Regardless of the outcome--and hopefully, we're playing it for the best--the moments we're going through now will be making the textbooks...
...company's third core business, commercial printing, seems promising, even though it's losing money right now. But here Kodak will have to battle a giant called Xerox. That does not mean the technology is anything like that of office photocopying. Kodak's machines can be 40 ft. long and cost from $11,000 to $5.5 million.
