Samsung stops selling Consumer Electronics in Japan

Nov 12 2007, 2:00am CST | by Luigi Lugmayr

Samsung decided to stop selling consumer electronics in Japan.

Samsung did sell LCD TVs, mp3 players, and DVD players in Japan, but only online and at some retailers. Samsungs' consumer electronics sales only accounted for 1% of total sales in Japan. The major business for Samsung in Japan is semiconductors and LCD panels. Samsung is very strong in the United States and in Europe. It is surprising that they did not succeed in Japan. Sony fanboys, you missed out on some great products. Samsung is again leading in the LCD HDTV sales in the U.S. and the top selling HDTVs on Amazon.com are mostly from Samsung.
