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

When competition from Korean and then Chinese imports got good enough that they could compete on price.

Why 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.

japan has been living in early 2000s since the 80s
their 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.

>20 years ago
The 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.

I read somewhere that software was seen as less prestigious than hardware in Japan, which resulted in that side stagnating.

Germany 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.

German automobiles stopped being reliable since the mid-90s, they now do the American way of manufacturing of planned obsolescence. Only Japanese automobiles are reliable.

Japan has been living in the year 2000 since 1982
I'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.
>>
>>110289276
literally 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 up
literally 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

Japs are more Asian than you give them credit for. So much of their work is copying or adding their own touch to White achievements. 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 day
They made their bones copying American and British computer games and shipping casualized versions for consoles.

The 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.

Consumer devices got simpler, VHS, CD, DVD, HIFI systems became obsolete, the complex micro-mechanical systems used in them which Japan was good at (minus printers) got replaced by single board computers and solid state devices

Professional devices still remain made in Japan
