No. Then there would basically be a monopoly in both areas of gaming. Microsoft would monopolize the HD gaming market and Nintendo would monopolize the casual gaming market. I don't really see Sony all that much money anymore. They just stated that they are in the black again so I don't see them bowing out. Sega stepped down because worldwide the only successful system they had was the megadrive genesis. The add ons for the system and the lackluster saturn initial lineup are what killed their reputation. Their 8 bit system did not do well other than in Europe.

All of Sony's systems have done quite well. PS3 got off to a really bad start but, it's not doing that bad anymore.

The PSP only does average because Sony doesn't advertise for it or give spend any time on it during game shows. Plus the price point is too high for a handheld that has been out for 5 years.

Sony's first party games sell quite a bit. so I don't see why they would go down. Sega never knew what they wanted to do and they fought with each other internally about what direction they wanted to go in.

Sony has a direction, it just is not working as well as is did in the past because a lot of people don't have the hardware like HD/ 3D/TV's to benefit from anything.

Sony has sold 38 million and 360 has sold 41 million. Sony has sold more systems worldwide in 4 years than MS has in 5. That goes to show that they are not going anywhere. Sony still has PS2 on the market as well.

You obviously dont read the news stories here on Gamespot-The Ps3 has helped to pull Sony outta the red-So I guess they wont give up on gaming anytime soon.

dude thats the avg stock price the cheaper the stocks means the better the company is doing. To own hafe of sonys stocks u need to have 3bil While Microsofts =226Bil and Nintendo isnt even listed cuz they dont have enought stocks sold

Then why is when stocks are down people panic and sell? I'm not sure where you got your education on how stock prices work but if you paid for it... go get your money back! When a company's stock is high it means the company has a larger marketshare, and has an increased overall value. That's why Apple's stocks are as high as they are... because their iPad and iPhone are selling like crazy... like the Wii.

He's referring to average stock price (read much?), not variation.

Surely people don't think that due to individual share pricing nintendo have more value than conglomerates sony or microsoft?

You are basically ALL wrong man. "Cheaper" doesn't mean anything, it sure as heck doesn't mean a compay is doing "better" (how would that make sense?). If cheaper shares are better how do you explain Berkshire Hathaway with EACH SHARE $117,000. Yet other companies like Intel and Microsoft sell around $15-25. What matters is the # of shares outstanding x the price per share = the market capitalization of the outstanding shares. The market capitalization is what most people look at. Of which obviously Microsoft is the biggest company of the three. At least you are close on their value of 223 Billion. Sony is 31.33 Billion. You are wrong about Nintendo not being listed because they "dont have enough stock sold", they are listed on the Tokyo exchange. They choose not to list on NYSE or Nasdaq probably because they don't want to deal with the SEC and US regulators. They would still probably be the smallest of the three due to not having the diverse product offerings of Sony or Microsoft . But they're still plenty big to list on Nasdaq or NYSE if they wanted too.,,

err.... isn't Sega a game company and practically nothing else? i don't understand the analogy.

ok... after checking your profile i'm gonna assume that english is not your first language and this is all a misexpression. are you wondering whether Sony will stop developing console platforms? if so.... well, no one can be sure if there ever will be a PS4, but at least PS3 is going strong for now. so i don't think Sony will "give up on gaming". at least not this gen.

A troll is someone who posts something just to make people get mad. You're posting this question for no real reason and it looks a lot like trolling. Your only reasoning was "well somebody said the 360 would destroy the PS3" so this thread should really be going in system wars...

Nope, Sony has always been the best in my eyes.

Their game's quality have been amazing.
