In a statement sent to the national retailer yesterday (14), Sony confirmed that it is ending its activities in Brazil and will abandon the segment of televisions, audio and cameras in our country. PlayStation-branded consoles will continue to be sold here, but only through a reseller.
Sony also confirmed that it will close its electronics factory in Manaus at the end of March next year. In the coming months, all Sony product sales in the affected segments should also be halted in Brazil, but the brand has not yet given a specific date for that.
The statement was signed by Clovis Leite, senior manager of the brand’s operations in Brazil (Playback / Twitter- @ danielreen)
Curiously, the company has just launched in our country its line of 8K Z8H televisions, the first with the seal of maximum compatibility with the PS5, the next generation of Japanese game console.
The brand justifies its departure from Brazil to the international market conditions and the expected trends for the Brazilian market. Other divisions of Sony that do not work with electronic devices must remain in the country, including Sony Music and Sony Pictures.
