Sony was one of the staunchest supporters of the MSX standard, starting with the MSX1 HB-55 in late 1983 and continuing its support up to the MSX2+ HB-F1XV in late 1989. They produced a lot of MSX computers and peripherals. They also created and published software.
Contrary to other companies that released localised versions of their computers under the same reference (example: Philips) or another brand name (example: Daewoo), Sony released its own localized versions of some computers by adding a letter to indicate the target countries. That's why subcategories have been created for these machines. Note that the HB-20, HB-501, HB-F9, HB-F700 and HB-G900 computers have been released only outside Japan.

Trivia
- The HitBit name was used in Japan prior to the MSX for the non-MSX Sony SMC-777 computer (SMC means Sony Micro Computer) and electronic typewriters
- The woman appearing in many Sony Japan ads is Seiko Matsuda, a famous Japanese pop singer
