Sony, A huge landmark on the electronics world was originally called, Tokyo Tsushin Kogyo - Tokyo Telecommunications Engineering Company. It first made its name recently after World War II, Japan's economy in a massive slump from the war, they started with repairing broken radios and making small voltmeters.
The first distributed electronic good was an automatic rice cooker, their company name later changed to Sony- the name taken from the Latin for "Sound", sonus and the 1950's English word "Sonny-boy". This then lead to their pivoting piece of merchandise under their new name, the transistor radio; followed by the pocket transistor radio.
Currently the company has a vast variety of electronic goods, from phones, visual and audio entertainment, financial serivices and so forth. However their hold in the gaming world was actually a bit later than what would be expected from such technological giants.
