Unforunately they're "downscaling" their operations in Europe, so I guess they're having trouble competing with other phones: https://www.gsmarena.com/is_sony_pulling_its_smartphone_busi...

They've always had uncompetitive pricing. I'm not surprised sales are low.

Yes and their update policy really sucked compared to the competition while their price was the same or even higher. They've only fixed that recently but it was too late. This was the main reason I never got one.
