- Some corrections: Sony created the CD in collaboration with Philips.
I was supposed to say "true era of 3D console gaming" for the PlayStation part.

Great video! Small mistake @5:42, the transistor was invented in December 1947, not in 1948.
Indeed ColdfusionTV might be embarrassed 😆😎
Hmmm
the video wasnt made after your comment you have to like edit the video
Sony is one of the companies I have the most respect for. They've contributed countless times to the electronics industry such as paving the way to personal audio through the Walkman. It's a shame to see that a company which was the market leader back in the 80s and 90s lost its way. I hope one day they can become like the Sony I knew from the old days
UmuTech Electronics They will, at least from their smartphone division. I am confident that Sony will start to rise up again in the world with innovative and world class quality products
Shawn Mendes Yea, I feel the same. I just wish they'd promote more engineers to executive levels. Most of the current executives are all non-engineers.
UmuTech Electronics I wish they would. Well nothing is impossible with Sony. In their mobile departments, rumours of the Z5 Premium with a 4K display eventually became true. Even their current XZ is the top selling flagship phone of Q4 2016 according to Apteligent, who also stated that the S7 Edge is the best flagship phone of Q1 2016
@@troy5568 Mobile division only 2% market share where dominated 10 years ago Bravia TVs no 2 market share. Thier ANC earbuds headphones no 1 as are Alpha cameras and Handycams.
Great think
ColdFusion... you are one of very few pieces of gold in UA-cam. Thank you for you quality videos (at a surprisingly fast pace), I look forward to seeing more
And why in the ass do you ONLY have almost 1,000,000 subscribers? Dam it guys
P.S. Australia is the best country in the world, represent
Heath Dog agreed and cold fusion needs some marketing to get subscribers. I love the channel
SyncKo
I have a 9 years old LCD TV by Sony, a PS Vita, a PS3, a PS4, a 9 years old Full HD Sony handycam, an 8 years old Sony alpha DSLR, used to own a PS2, a PSP, a Sony Ericsson W550i, and Sony Ericsson K800i. Sony you're everywhere. Keep inventing and stay innovative.
Omfg I actually started my internship at Sony today!
good luck mate
Do you get any free stuff like playstations or tvs? or at least a discount
good luck!
lies
Mike Ci like a boss! good luck
Sony's cool for sure. They make so many damn products, it's crazy. If you're looking for headphones, cables, TVs, etc you know you're always gonna get quality if it's branded Sony :]
Frankie Dingleberry but expensive
Not Tai Lopez Yea, but it's price shows in it's quality. There's a reason that their products are generally considered high end (or the best), especially in the headphones market.
Frankie Dingleberry Samsung makes Phones, TVs, Air conditioners, cable boxes, speakers, headphones, radios, ships, cars, washing machines, RAM, storage, screens, cameras, and has branches like insurance, etc.
Samtell well, Sony had a rough start with some failures xD
simhopp No?
Not ALLL their TV's are bad wtf.
A video on rise and fall of Yahoo!
I would like to see it also.
Abhinandan Darbey yes
Abhinandan Darbey that would be for dope
the rise is many company offered them to buy their company for 30-50 billion in 2013/14, now( the fall) they sold them for under 10 billion. lol. they just unlucky
That would be very interesting yes!
Very interesting! Enjoyed learning the origin of Sony
my favorite company!!! 😊😊 I'm a big fan

Sony stuff I own: a PS2 I bought for $20 just to walk through two GTA titles not available on other platforms and a crappy small stereo I intend to replace with something more substantial. I used to have a Sony TV and a VCR but that was in the early 90s. Back then it they were something else. Today it's not a company I would trust anymore.

Wow true Sony fan like me. I have almost everything Sony too and I even made a Sony channel and I shot a short cinematic film with CinemaPro on my Xperia 1 II ua-cam.com/video/tBTa0Mv_GY4/v-deo.html
I think Sony is a very influential company as they were one of the first Japanese brands to be seen in the western world that Japan makes high quality products at an affordable price. American brands started to fail because of Japan's products at a lower price but also having that quality on par with American products. "Made In Japan"... Sony started plaguing the western world, along with many other Japanese brands such as JVC, Nintendo, Panasonic, Sharp, etc. And there Japanese products become the household products. Now if we look at today's products, there is the rise the of Chinese and Korean products, which has almost matched the quality of Japan. Japanese products have now been considered mostly "expensive and "overpriced" with consumers. Just like how American products were considered "expensive" when Japan ruled the market...
I can't agree that the quality of Chinese and Korean products is almost matched the quality of Japan.
Chinese company provide good enough technology for average consumers with a much lower price, but the quality is not always good.
Korean products are quite good at some area such as screens/TV. They put so much effort on marketing while offering a lower price than Japanese companies. The technology is good and the quality is OK.
Japanese companies are the real boss. Companies like Mitsubishi don't really care about the consumer market. They could earn so much from providing military solution to the Japanese government. And large business grade products like trains are nearly all using the motors from Mitsubishi.
That's why they hardly have advertisement. Similar story for NEC.
And many people think the technology advancement of Korean companies are similar or better than the Japanese companies. But I can't agree with that.
Japanese companies are usually better and usually jerks. Low/Mid-end Consumer grade product are technologies from years before. Especially in the oversea market, expensive and old tech.
But in the true ultimately high-end products. They are the best. You just need to pay so much and most likely can't buy it outside of Japan.
Let's hope that they focus on oversea consumer more someday
Yes I do agree with you that the Japanese still have better quality products, but only in the high-end. What I was saying was from a consumer market stand point. Sony used to rule the consumer market because of lower costs, when American products were a bit more expensive. But if you look today, you see more Korean and Chinese products and you know why? Because of lower costs.They're starting to become the household products that Sony and others have once claimed. That's the reason why you don't see a lot of Japanese products anymore. Many Japanese companies struggled with the competition, so they stayed local, backing out from other markets. Now, they focus on the high-end market. Yes, there are still some popular Japanese consumer products like the PlayStation and Toyota, but that's another topic...
Smartphones are a great example of this. When was the last time you saw a Sony Xperia or a Sharp Auquos besides Japan? I'm pretty sure you see more Samsung, Xiaomi, LG, or iPhone (this is an exception).
Anyway, all I am just saying is that consumer products change frequently, and Japan is no longer a big player in the consumer market...
Btw, I actually prefer Japanese products (also American!) to Chinese and Korean. I think it's good that Japan is in the hi-end market. :) I hope they don't stop making products...
It's really sad to see them focus less on the consumer market.
I used to love Japanese smartphone so much. Great design, Great camera.
But now NEC and Panasonic quit the smartphone market.
Sharp is sold to Taiwanese and I don't see the great design anymore.
Sony dominates the mobile camera sensor market but not making smartphone with best camera.
-------Long story below-----
I own a old Panasonic smartphone (P-02E, 2013). It looks really unique but my 10 year-old brother locked it with his password and then forgot the password.
Last week I bring it to Japan and see if docomo (the telecom who sold it) could fix that for me. But they didn't do that because I have no contact of their service (even if I'm willing to pay).
Neither smartphone fixing stores nor me could reset the phone because docomo have password in recovery mode. One smartphone fixing stores told me they could fix it if I pay 11,800yen (~105usd) a motherboard replacement.
Thanks for your effort and choosing such a big company to make a video about!
Keep it up 👍
please tell you're making a part two? Your content is everything that used to make the history channel great!
I like quality, so obviously I have a Sony TV, MP4, Turntable, Headphones, 3 Xperias, Digital Camera, Car stereo and of corse ALL the Playstations...
Hugo Conceição
same
Karuska22ps same lol
Hugo Conceicao me too
haha same here.
Me as well
To be honest, no one else compares to you Dagogo! Your videos are top notch, I always must watch every new video as soon as you upload. Good stuff man! I am particularly impressed by the quality of your work, it's impeccable; I just have one word, 'AWESOME!' Keep it up bro, watching all the way from Nairobi, Kenya.
I worked for Sony Japan in their Sony Ericsson cellphones production, PS1 and PS2 assembly lines. I heard the PS1 logo song for soooo many times, I still remember it. It was a very cool company to work for and I miss it a lot , I miss Japan in general.
Was that in the 90s early 2000s.
Nice to see you after long time.. Keep upload new videos 👌
+Umesh Mahadik Thanks mate, I uploaded 6 days ago though. Are some of my videos not showing up in your feed?
ColdFusion Yeah.. ! Actually I missed notification of that video. SOLAR PROOF that was my last seen video before Sony. Now I'll watch rest of videos after Solar Proof. I love your way to present. Thanks for making such a informative videos for us.
I agree with +Umesh Mahadik. +Coldfusion, even I didn't have any of your videos show up in my feed. The last one I saw was a couple of weeks ago.
Actually yeah! I didnt get the playstation video.
i miss good success church
I can appreciate the fact that this video was well researched and properly put together. Great Job.
I'm 90s kid... sony has been pretty much been a part of my whole life Starting from the sony walk man to sony discman, ps1 to ps5.
We've come along way in about 100 years
We sure have
the best and most diverse Company ever...
High quality hardware and products: check!
consumer electronics: check!
Movies/TV: check!
Music: check!
Gaming/Playstation: check!
Pain Nagato Sama
Sony Mirrorless Cameras. The best selling and with millions of reviews and views on youtube.
Tenerio indeed
Pain Nagato Sama : Not to forget, Lately Sony is still revolutionary for creating first FULL FRAME SENSOR on a mirrorless camera and are competing with brands like Canon 1dx and nikon d4 and winning because of its much smaller size and price.
Except the newest two Playstations (PS4 and its Pro variant) are a joke.
destrierofdark you're trolling right ?!
"It's a SONY !"
A house of innovation.
Been waiting for an upload... thanks!
Sony was the Original Apple.
Emmanuel Namikaze the opposite. They made too many variants of the same product that made people confused. Apple makes only few iterations of 1 model to make it simple and easy to use. Still sony was the best! Beaten my samsung now :(
Emmanuel Namikaze
Sony has the best Mirrorless cameras around today. They are beating Canon and Nikon which are also from Japan ;). Sony Camera lens and Camcorder starting from 100 Dollars till 50000 dollars. There are also million of reviews on youtube with millions of views on Sony Cameras. Sony is still big today!
"Beating Canon and Nikon" lmao
HanFei Zhang Those two get lens supplied by Sony.
Robert Kelly NOT AT ALL, Nikon got a lot of their sensors supplied by Sony and Canon got some sensor supplies by Sony for their lower end products, BUT NONE OF THEM GOT LENS SUPPLIED BY SONY, SONY IS NOT AN OPTICAL COMPANY
Steve Jobs was a big fan of Sony
Yes
He was a big pony stole their ideas as did Samsung.
Perhaps that's why xperias never got heat from apple unlike galaxies?
How do you know
Yeah true steve showed imac can work in ps1 in 1999 watch this video ua-cam.com/video/3OqMcqRI-xA/v-deo.html
SONY IS THE BEST...THATS WHAT I LOVE JAPAN😍😎😘🤗
In my opinion PHILIPS its the best for its contribution and inventions in electronics!! Then sony!!
@@mitsuevo8mr what a dumb comment... Sony is the og.... Sony make world electronic revaluation ... First walkmen.
@@Kodnnkmpohn do your research and you come to know Philips have contributed more to electronics than sony! I love sony but philips invented the cassette, cd, dvd and were the pioneers of blueray! Some people said sony helped philips making cd and dvd but really philips had everything going with optical lens and disc!! So in my opinion philips is better! Sony invented the minidisc and it was inferior to philips dcc, also philips invented the first ever plasma flatscreen in 1998! Philips had always being ahead of time! Without philips even the playstation wouldn’t exist cause its was based on cd and blueray!! Also philips had the video cd even before the dvd 📀 was created!!
@@mitsuevo8mr joking right??? you trynna said without Philip Sony failed????? 😂😂😂 My man please do some research on wiki or Sony corporation site...how stupid are you. 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
@@mitsuevo8mr you think Sony only famous for PlayStation???? Plz do some research... You make me laugh.
I love all the old footage you're able to dig up. Your editing technique and music choice with the old footage is bliss.
This channel never dissapoints
hi I am form south Africa,You are doing a great job!plz put this in a book format
I really love those transitions. Next time please do L.G
Having a personal history for almost two decades with Sony products ever since My First Sony walkman as a kid, this video made me quite emotional. Very well written and produced. You have a new subscriber and loving your other videos too! A hidden gem under the tech channels out there on UA-cam! Spreading the word for sure! Much love and keep up the good work, looking forward to part 2!
Another masterpiece by ColdFusion. Thank you!
Nice one as always. When should we expect the rest of the video. I must confess you are doing a great work
I really love SONY please make a video with the rest of the story!!!
glad to see this channel grown up to almost a million subscribers Dagogo! I am with you since this channel less than 50k sub and very admire your unique style video. remember you sharing your retro collection of wallpapers and music to. congratulations man, love ya!
Japanese and technology are just made for each other.i love there creativity...
The Intro u r watchin'coldfusion tv is so chilling and awesome
This is why they are incredible engineers from mobiles to PlayStation's.
Trinitron/WEGA TVs to Bravia flat LCD/LED and OLED TVs.
What's more fascinating is that Bell Labs developed the transistor. I often wonder what other things we might have seen if they'd lasted in that form until now.
who else is watching this video on a Sony xperia
Top Lists Z5 premium
Top Lists Xperia XZ Premium!!
I'm watching this on a sony bravia
XA Ultra
Me
Almost a million! You deserve it! I Really enjoy your videos! I'd love to see more biography type of videos
I really appreciate your effort👍
This was really informative and fun to watch.
Keep it up and you deserve a million subscriber and more than that.☺👍👍👍👌
Another correction needs to be made. Sony's N.American partner, Gendis, was actually Canadian, based in Winnipeg, MB. Gendis was a marketing company, founded in the 1940s, by the Cohen brothers, and was known for retail chains SAAN Stores, Metropolitan, Red Apple, and The Sony Store. The Sony/Gendis partnership became Sony Canada, Ltd. Today, Gendis concentrates on property management, pipelines, and energy, after selling out its retail ventures and Sony partnership. Canada actually had access to Sony products before they launched in the US.
I want more! Give me more of SONY history through years ^^
you took a while to make the video but the wait was worth it !Eagerly waiting for the next part
too bad, sony sucks at marketing their product but they will always have my trust. amazing company
Hale Ir. Zaee every company dies down eventually. Apply is already seeing their downfall.
***** money.cnn.com/2016/10/25/technology/apple-earnings-decline/
Those aren't small numbers either.
I enjoyed the video, my complaint and or dislike about this is that you put it into parts, I definitely would enjoy it more if it was a full video.
I love _Sony._ I had _Sony_ boomboxes, walk/cd man, mini-disc players, phones, mp3 players, etcetera.
The quality of your films is absolutely breathtaking
watching this with my Sony Xperia and sony headphones
I'm always impressed to see this level of quality on youtube, well done Dagogo!
Fascinating
Great video, it should be a series! Do the history of Mitsubishi next! 🐸
Didn't know Sony had such an interesting backstory
Dagogo you're going to hit a the million SUBS man! I was with you when you hit 5000. Man You did it and so well deserved! 2 MIL next! You GO! :)
Instrumental in rock music....was that a pun Dagogo?
+Cole Osiowy Yep, good ear!
I love the intro music. Props to whoever composed/picked it.
Your videos are truly amazing. :) Could you also do a similar video for Canon?
Really nice video, as usual. Good job !!!
There's nothing better than this type of content mixed to this voice tone :D
Yeah
Huge company with a very interesting history for sure.
I was trying to think of a company to recommend a video idea, but you have covered all the ones I can think of.
You are too damn on point.
Finally been waiting for this
One of my favorite UA-cam channels! Fantastic work Dagogo. All the best
I suggest you to make a video on Lockheed Martin. Cheers
Awesome video! Sony is my Dad's first choice for electronics no matter what it is. Cool to see how they started
Very good video, well done, looking forward to part 2👍👍👍👍
Make video on competition b/w Boeing and airbus
I always like a coldfusion video even before i start watching it, because i know i'll be amazed surely. Keep up the great work Mr. Altraide!
all the good stuffs made in japan.
coldfusion is the bestest informative youtube channel i have ever seen.keep it up bro.
watching this on a sony tv lol
Watching on a iPhone
That iPhone camera sensor is made by Sony. A bespoke partnership design between Apple and Sony.
Neojhun My sister has an LG G4 and its camera sensor is made by Sony :)
LOL I have a LG V10 which has the same camera module. I knew Sony made sensors for a large proportion of the industry. Had no clue my own phone had a sony sensor.
@@sonicahedgehog9814 Change to Sony Xperia or Samsung Galaxy S.
keep up the good work!! always learning something new after watching your videos.
Even with the reputation they've gained, this is still an amazing start honestly.
Just wanted to say your videos are truly amazing, with the level of detail you go into, and being how unique this type of content is on UA-cam. Keep it up!
How about music gear, can you make about Roland?
+mdjey2 That's actually been on my mind. Both the Roland 303 and 808 have incredible back stories. Perhaps look out for something in the coming months ;)
how about BOSE
ColdFusion definitely interested in seeing this!
Man I missed your videos, it's so mindblowing to see how many things we just use without thinking about them, that didn't even exist just over 50 years ago.
Now I just watched all the Videos you made in the last 3 Month, because I didn't see them in my subscriptions.
Great video! I've always had a positive image of Sony, they are a good company doing good things for the world. I didn't know the name "Sony" had something to do with the word 'sound', and I always felt that the analog age (which could also be said the age of sound) belonged to Sony. It's really unfortunate that this trend didn't continue in the modern digital age though. Sony used to make really high quality products, as well as being the number one tech name for an entire generation. Their legacy lives on indefinitely.
Thank you for these 2 videos on the history of Sony. They were definitely an education.
A request: Please maintain a proper aspect ratio regardless of source material. Mixing aspect ratios is particularly troublesome, since it prevents aspect correction during playback.
Japanese transistor better than American made transistor
no.

How Sony started out: tv
How Sony is now: the most popular home console producers
Sony = innovation , simple really.
Hahahaha that’s actually PHILIPS SLOGAN INNOVATION & YOU! I have great respect for PHILIPS for its contribution and inventions in electronics then second sony!
Hey man I love your videos. They feel so smooth.
Only thing i don't like is that you are commenting your own actions sometimes in a manner where it destroys "the flow". For example 6:27 just skip the "lets continue" just say "now you know how important the transistor was at that time" or just skip it at all. Of course you will continue, do you know what i mean?
I still love ya, keep doing those high quality videos!
I don't t know how a feel about these videos on corporations. I feel like they ignore the bad things about them, like how the often exploit cheap labor in poor countries.
Just a little correction the first to invent portable music was not Sony, it was a guy named Andreas Pavel with his Stereobelt. He filled a patent 7 years before Sony.
Happy to watch this, and im glad they continue to strife in innovating, just that most dont get unto ads to bolster their efforts in the market. For course the age we're in is extremely competitive and difficult to please, hence sony's decline and closure of respective departments.
Their companies legacy is also riddled with important lessons, like the sudden appearance of MP3 that spelled death overnight for their walkman.
The great thing is whenever sony has new tech to show the world its gonna cos a stir. Cant wait for part 2.
This video and the PlayStation video was very inspiring in a weird way. It always amazes me to hear about people who start from nothing, persevere, and then achieve massive success.
watching this on my Sony xperia z3 * teardrop *
at the time of watching this video there were 9510 likes and 74 dislikes. this must be the biggest difference by far for an infotainment video. truly reflects a high quality piece of work. thanks again ColdFusion for another informative video on another popular brand :)
watching this with on *Sony xperia* and with *sony earphones* 😉
your almost at a mill subs mate well done been here since the beginning
this is much better than reading wikipedia articles :P
Sony and apple imo make the best products
Apple.... haha :)
Tesla!?!
Apple nowadays? Haha!
Apple usually have great idea and marketing.
Japanese companies had the real courage and technology at the past, not anymore.
Apple is walking the same path too.
I'm Japanese and I agree.
Sony is the best ever!! I actually believe they make the best TVs, cameras, and phones.
I went to the Sony Museum (Sony Archive) a couple years ago - stumbled upon that and they receptionists allowed me to come inside (which usually requires pre-arrangement). Seeing those great piece of equipment left me speechless. That's a place that ooze quality innovation that told the tale of Sony. I hope Sony can come back as great as when they were in the heyday - create stuff that is quality and long-lasting.
Where was this Sony Museum located?
can you please make a video on Sony phones please
thanks
Thank you buddy for the awesome video i wish your videos were more longer as i really enjoy them
SONY thank you!
THANK YOU FOR THE PLAYSTATION
