good old fashioned competition

Posted by Joe Murphy Jr on March 5, 2008 at 18:25:24:
Ironically, that's why Pioneer is in it's current position. The competition gave close enough quality at a much lower price and persuaded the consumer to choose someone other than Pioneer for their plasma viewing needs.

Pioneer's processing has never been in question. However, up until about 2 1/2 years ago, the green push on Pioneers was almost as bad as the Samsungs that were displayed next to them. And the difference in processing capability never justified their price premium, especially compared to the Panasonics (at the time).

I hate to see a quality company make a business decision that leaves their customers wondering about or regretting their purchase. However, I believe Pioneer made a business decision that will benefit them in the long run -- keeping them in the display business. The alternative would have been to close their doors re: their plasma business.
