@patio11 Hey Patrick, Japan question: Anecdotally, it seems like most big Japanese brands are actually conglomerates with drastically diverse product lines. Does this check out?
And then, after they had built an insurance company as a fun side project (as one does, when one is a Japanese megacorp), well it is just *silly* not to sell its products to the rest of the world.

That is so interesting! Why then do they choose to only localize the products/services in Japan?

For insurance specifically? Heavily regulated, Japan's a plenty attractive market, no reason to cause politically powerful interests overseas to react negatively against Sony in service of a tiny portion of their business interests.
