And why Sony would kill MD if it still makes money? As long as one small business unit inside Sony that designs and produces MD hardware is still financially sustainable why anyone would kill it? What kind of idiotic business reasoning is behind posts that suggest that Sony should kill it?
Furthermore, its not even in Sony power to kill MDs. In Japan there are several companies producing MDs such as Panasonic and Kenwood that are both making sleek MD players. So, all Sony can do is just to withdraw from this market and hence surrender it to competitors who would be only happy to make more money there.
Finally, who gives a sh$t about the US anyway? Typical American arrogance and ignorance. This is a news flash for you folks: nobody is making MDs for the US market. MDs are super popular in Asia where few billions people do not want to spend $50 on flash memory, but $1 on MD is not a problem. The entire Vietnam is living on MDs.
A small lesson in business for some of the clowns who post here: any technology is good as long as it makes money. And that why Aibo is dead and MD will stay around for a while. Giants like Sony and Panasonic are still making tape players in their factories in Malaysia. I know it’s a difficult concept to grasp for American, but just try to understand that there are more consumers _outside_ of the US then inside of the US. And those people might have their own preferences on how they want to listen to music.
The whole line-up consists of the $60 Amps in-ears and $100 Tracks on-ear headphones, which both also come in slightly souped-up and pricier HD variations at $100 and $130, respectively.
