When did the decline of Japanese electronics and technologies begin?20 years ago, companies like Sony, Panasonic, Toshiba, Hitachi, Sharp, Sanyo, Seiko Epson, Casio, Hitachi, Olympus, Seiko, Sharp, NEC, Yamaha etc dominated the electronics industry but today they are a mere shell of what they used to be like>refrigerators, washmachines, vacuums, batteries, and air conditioners>Laundry machines, including washer-dryers>lithium-ion and flash memory your phone uses were created by Japanese>Hitachi Building Systems is the second largest manufacturer of elevators in Japan>DSLR cameras>LCD>LED blue light>fiber optic communications>the first bullet train (Shinkansen)>CD was created by Sony based on PCM sound source>Video Home System (VHS), which preceded the DVD, was invented by Victor Company of Japan>Betamax, owned by Sony in Japan in May 1975>DVD>Sony Trinitron>Sony Walkman and Xperia>HD-DVD discs by Toshiba>Blu-Ray discs by Sony>Flash memory - created by Japan>J-SH04 – the world's first camera phone capable of sending picture messages>NEC were the Japanese IBM.

Dreamcast had Hitachi SH-4 and only console ever created that supports automatic order independent alpha blending>Sony PlayStation and Ken Kutaragi
When competition from Korean and then Chinese imports got good enough that they could compete on price.
>>110289276Why a lust provoking for a genuinely good question? Last I checked such images were prerequisite if one's thread was bait or the question was lame and/or weak, guaranteed to not bring replies on its merit, hence the requirement for candy placement.

>>110289276>When did the decline of Japanese electronics and technologies begin?japan has been living in early 2000s since the 80stheir entire society is one of stasis. nothing really changes, for better or worse. issue is that china went from backwater shithole to semi-modern shithole and japan's demographics are terminal, so nothing changing for decades isn't a winning move.
>>110290045Sorry you didn't get laid in HS bro. Teen pussy is the best.
>>110289276>20 years agoThe mid-00s was already WAY past the peak of Japanese electronics and when they were in the middle of their lunch being eaten by China and South Korea. Like a lot of things with Japan, the late 80s was probably the peak, with a steadily increasing decline throughout the 90s as the market became flooded with cheap chinkshit. Consumers are to blame too of course, as they picked the cheaply-made garbage over superior Nihongese products folded 1000 times, which inevitably lead to Japanese companies also declining in quality as they entered the race to the bottom, only to end up priced out anyway because China has infinite bugmen to throw at the situation and the chaebols literally own South Korea.
>>110289276I read somewhere that software was seen as less prestigious than hardware in Japan, which resulted in that side stagnating.
>>110289296Germany seems to be immune from that somehow.
>>110289276SEX
>>110289276Germany was the powerhouse that undercut the Brit, then it's the Jap, then there're the chinks and worst koreans.Chinks are already outsourcing shit to Vietnam. Hell, the chinks would gladly outsource to the jeets as well but jeets are izzat farming by just robbing the profit from them through made up laws.

>>110289276Japan has been living in the year 2000 since 1982I'd say the main reason they haven't been able to rise past that, is the rise of commodity hardware. Japan was big into vertical integration where companies like Sony manufactured literally every single part of a Walkman in-house from the cassette mechanism to the ICs and the cable connectors and so on.Once that stopped being viable and everything started running on the same dozen microchips and using the same chinese basic design and parts, Japan lost its edge.
>>110289276literally economics, Japan suffered massive crisis and then bubbles that slowly drained away all of the money. the important part is that it was delayed so even though they kept releasing good shit they couldn't keep upliterally every aspect of Japan has this issue, even movies, games, anime, and books, and it all stems from having no free money and getting ravaged by greed

Perhaps they're a little more innovative than other kinds of Asians, but not a whole lot.>Japan DOMINATES the video game industry to this dayThey made their bones copying American and British computer games and shipping casualized versions for consoles.
>>110293022>TRONThe truth is Tron was barely even usable during the 80s, and by the time it was introduced, Win NT and Linux were already the market standards.

>>110291222>Only Japanese automobiles are reliable.for now>Honda managers also asked suppliers to expand their own use of Chinese-made components where possible, according to the documents.
