Sony trounces Microsoft & Nintendo in brand trust survey

Forrester Research has published a new report that examines the trust that American households place in PC and consumer electronics (CE) brands, including the brands of Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony (the red dots, above). The results may be surprising to gamers. In Forrester's analysis, Sony's brand garnered the highest marks of the three companies (Sony also ranked 3rd out of 22 companies), earning an average of A plus. Of the companies surveyed, only Bose and Dell sport an A plus. Meanwhile, Microsoft's brand earned an overall grade of C (placing Microsoft at 20 out of 22), dragged down by low brand trust. Nintendo's brand earned a B, but was pulled towards the bottom of the ranking (17th place out of 22) by low brand potential and low brand adoption.

Well that poll means nothing when comparing the the console side of things. Everyone knows that Windows is a bag of bollocks, and that's what people have probably voted against.

Nintendo haven't got the mass market that Sony have. So of course Sony are going to come out on top!

Pointless!


3 - I agree with no.1

I don't trust sony after my experiences. Most people won't trust microsoft because of windows issues , but you have to think that windows has to be compatable with so many differnet products and software and people are always trying to manipulate it with viruses etc, It must be a huge task for microsoft to take on and I think they deserve a litle more credit, anyhow I would like to see sony try and do it.

5 - Sony sucks
FamoAmo 03.30.2006 10:08
Sony's product's suck besides their TV'S!! The PS2 was a huge POS. I had 2 break and sold my 3rd to get the xbox. Sony is probably hiring these chump companies to publish this crap!! Should take this article off this site!!!

The results aren't that surprising. It's trendy to hate MS. Also MS is so big and powerful that when something goes wrong, it's huge press. The recent worms on the Mac OS are barely mentioned in the tabloids. Barely anybody is even aware of the Sony rootkit fiasco (installing software without permission, and circumventing people's firewalls, COME ON!?). Meanwhile every worm and bug on Windows XP seems to make it's way to primetime CNN.

Sony is an old boring brand to me, it has to go. Time for new comers to come in and kick them in the nuts.

I wouldn't even consider buying anything Sony other than a PS3. Sound equipment, TV's, MP3 Players etc are all crap.

I'd rather go with a dedicated supplier like Panasonic, Pioneer or a smaller company like Mordaunt Short or Bose because they make products that last and are of quality, not just shipped off the line as fast as they can to make a quick buck.

Sony are good at one thing, Consoles, and they are not even that good.


9 - hmmm

17 - my expierence!
Unregistered - Gamer 03.31.2006 02:04
My expierence with my 360 regardless of me sending my system back. It was flawless they had my shipping box here the next day and I had my new until 4 days later. Quick and painless. They really delivered on the customer care. Very nice and friendly. I rate their customer care 2nd to none. Im very proud to be a Xbox and 360 owner. As both systems I find to be very rewarding. Also why is it that 360 gets bad press when something goes wrong? what about when Playstation has stuff wrong?

How many upside down playstations have you seen? I've seen a fair few, I never had to do that with any of my other game consoles. All i can say to number 18 is NO i will not buy sony it is not very good, my experiences have taught me that, The sony speakers in my car are utter crap!, our samsung tv has a better picture than our freinds sony tv of comparable features,my pioneer surround system sounds better than the sonys i heard and is easier to use + when i did consider buying a sony whlist looking on the net I was put of by the amount of people that had problems with theirs, I could carry on with more examples of why I personally dislike the brand but i think i've made my point.

20 - waiting for the right chance
Unregistered - habren 04.02.2006 04:54
Sonys like AOL,its such a big company ,you can't see around it even if somethimg is better.With sonys old growth blocking the light and saplings like ms will have trouble growing.
