About Sony
Initially named Tokyo Telecommunication Engineering Corporation, Sony’s initial focus was electronics repair and innovation. The first major product launched by the company turned out to be Japan’s first tape recorder in 1950. In 1958, the company was rebranded as Sony to pursue a global identity.
Here is a quick timeline for the company’s journey:
-
1960: Launch of Sony Corporation of America, expanding into the US market.
-
1960s–70s: Introduction of the Trinitron color TV and the world’s first portable transistor TV.
-
1979: Release of the Sony Walkman.
-
1980s–90s: Expansion into music and film with acquisitions like CBS Records (1988) and Columbia Pictures (1989), and the launch of the PlayStation in 1994.
-
2000s–2020s: Continued diversification into gaming (PlayStation), digital imaging (Cyber-shot), and AI, with major acquisitions like EMI Music Publishing and Crunchyroll.
With time, Sony expanded across entertainment, music, electronics, gaming, financial services and more.
