Yes
The touchscreen panel failures over a two year period has tarnished their reputation ,and I am sure they don't want that to pop up again
I don't know where the panels were made , but in my view it was a disaster
It would be very shortsighted of them to sacrifice their reliability to gain short term sales growth
I was with Sony in the 1980's an I saw the direction that Sony took to stay competitive
The way they did that was a shift from Japan to Malaysia in production
Sony had some of the most reliable products and reputation until the late 80's when they outsourced most of thier production
Good Bye to the Touch 52 and the 74????
