explanation: Japanese electronic giant, founded in May 1946. Its name comes from the combination of an English word "sonny" (=kid) and a Latin word "sonus" (=sound). Initially, it had been making tape recorders. After a great hit of miniaturized radio sets thanks to transistors, it has begun to develop really. Recently, it entered the video game market by releasing a 32 bits console, "Play Station".
