It’s the End of an Era for Sony

Multimedia conglomerate Sony has announced that it will be spinning off one of its longest-running business ventures, one that predates even its iconic PlayStation gaming console lineup. Despite the publisher’s phenomenal standing in the video game world with the PlayStation brand, Sony has also had a strong presence in other sectors of the media and entertainment landscape since its formation in 1946. In the earliest stages of its history, Sony gained notoriety for various forms of electronics, including the TR-55 radio and the CV-2000 videotape recorder.
