Even Toyota isn't large enough to influence the market like that, they will have to cave sooner or later if they want to stay in business.

Toyota are the largest car manufacturer in the world...
Yes, and they are still not large enough for that strategy. You could do it as a monopolist.

Sony has a history of similar hubris, they always ended up adapting to the rest in the long run, usually after losing quite a big chunk of the market to upstarts.

Largest car manufacturer seems to flip between Toyota and VW, but while Toyota is certainly in the top 2, it’s also far less than ½ the market.
They already started caving in with the BZ series cars they have planned.
