Important Historical moments would include the release of the first PlayStation because it meant that they were accessing a new medium and they allowed the home entertainment and gaming market to become accessible to all in commercial industry including the worlds first dual analogue stick controller. A big moment with sony was the release also of their VAIO series and although expensive were the best in industries for software.
Success and epic failures of sony include the failure of the PSN (PlayStation Network) and when it went down in April of 2011 and also the PS3 launch as they launched it at too high of a price point at around £500 which was too high in comparison to the launch of the Xbox 360. A sucess though however is the take over of Columbia pictures in 1991 making films such as Money Ball and Big Fish.
