just because of viewing angle its gonna affect sales for sony ? what a smart statement

reception for the XZ1 since announced had been pretty high and welcomed. sony wont be able to catch up to samsung sales for sure, but for their sales to drop it's not gonna happen as well
on a lighter note.... "the best of sony is about to get better" it's true wad, "the best of sony" is tagline for XZ, now the XZ1 viewing angle is better than XZ already although the problem is still there

It gonna affected, I know you want it badly, but not everyone.
Two my friends already decide skip it because of viewing angle. It just a poor display anyway.
Customer just need to pass by and see "err how come the screen is..." then not even need to step in to check around as the screen already make customer leaving.
Not only display, the bezel is too tick also.
For me, Z Ultra is ahead of Z, using great display, slimmer and much beauty design.
But this Z1? thicker and never look nicer than Z at all, don't said only turn back to poor display after Sony use great display in Z Ultra.
The best of Sony is getting better is not really there, beside the great camera, this Z1 had nothing better than Z Ultra or even Z.
They is a lot wow factor when Sony release Z as Z really is beauty and the water resistance make some point that time. Then Z Ultra another wow factor as people see Sony finally decide use great display on it giant size display and superb slim body, and it against look much sexy than Z. When Z1 announcing, any wow factor? Not really, the detachable lens given much wow factor than this Z1.
All my friends said wow when I show them Z, they said it is sexy beauty, when I show them Z Ultra, they said OMG! over crazy big but look pretty awesome sexiness. During the time I show them Z1, the only comment I get is errr... how come the bezel is that crazy thick, err... so bulky look and etc. No one ever mention it look beauty. The beauty of Z1 no longer there, then now not even on par screen as Z Ultra, what is the left selling point of Z1? Afraid only that camera.
