The claim in the text is:
Quote: Sony’s Imaging Products group latest results – the nine months from March – December 2018, show sales up by 23 percent
Right next to a graphics which says the Sony full year increase in value is a tiny 670-655,9=14,1 billion yen or
+2,1%.
So it is either incompetency in finding the right numbers and making the calculation or deliberate propaganda.
The year before they grew from 579 to 670 or
+15,7%.
So
Sony growth rate has plummeted by 87% in one year alone. And the results of changing from monopoly FF DSLM to being just one out of four will only show this year.
And the Sony decrease in volume is 800,000 units per year (Sony still hide ILC versus compact numbers), or
-18%.
Canon by comparison has all their ILC sensor stuff in the same figures. This implies that to make it comparable changes for Sony would need to factor in the sensor sales as well. Here Sony lost sales of about 20,7 billion yen compared to the year before.
Combined together
Sony sales is already decreasing this year 6.6 million yen versus last year.
Facts.
