I agree.  After the trainwreck that was the Ps3 and the plethora of lackluster and unimaginative first party games that failed to sell well at all, which led to the closure of many studios, Sony needs to jump out of the hardware biz and leave it to Nintendo and Microsoft.  Sony needs to recognize that they are not big players anymore, and leave the console business to the big dogs.  Also, lol Vita.

Exactly. They're the least meaningful. Their hardware has always been rubbish. Loud, prone to errors, overheating, oversized and fuggly. Their software would be good but they can't control their desire to place ads and place restrictions and demand fees. In two generations they have done more bad things than Sony and Nintendo combined in their entire gaming history.
They better step up their game at E3... because right now (without looking at any rumours) it looks like a lost cause.

Some of that sounds like EA. Online passes, demanding companies use origin and then boycott if they don't. I do agree that MS has done very little for gaming, and nothing that they couldn't do as a 3rd party.

Well, online, right? That is like their saving grace. They brought consoles up to par with online. But that's all. They're not going to last if they don't step up their game. And I don't think they are capable enough to do that. Especially now that they see $$$ in all the bad things they did.

The barely functioning Kinect.
The Live fee.
All the ad revenue.
One of the best things of a 360 is you can pay double for Netflix, USA people love that stuff.
And the gazillion people who paid for repairs before they went to court or bought a second console just to be sure.
Each of those things were wild successes except the last one because they got sued.

If they find a way to release a faulty device without us being able to take them to court collectively, perhaps with their fantastic terms of service, they could make a ton of money off the fans in the USA who need to go repair their console.

Microsoft and Nintendo have done so much good for core gaming these past few years, Sony is really unnecessary.

Technically (and correct me if I'm wrong) They're the best HD selling Console World Wide. Also Sony will never become 3rd Party like Sega, they're a Electronics company first if there entertainment Gaming section collapses they'll just close their developer studios.

Not compared to the sales of the PS2, but not enough for them to go "third-party" especially after revealing the PS4

Figured it was in response to Wii-U threads.  Just posted some nonsense to contribute to nothing.

Lol, I think it's more of a response to the 'Nintendo should go third party!!!' threads that have been cropping up lately than anything Wii U specific :P

Not to mention that 54 million of the PS2's that sold didnt even do so until the PS3 released and the PS2 dropped to 100.00. Everybody seems to think the PS2 sold 150 million units within that generation at that generations price which is not the case. They didnt even officially scrap the PS2 until Jan of this year.

Neither Sony or Nintendo should go third party.

I seriously question people who thinks that gaming as a whole would benefit from one of the big 3 going third party. Also, I would rather not have other systems tainted by Sony's blight.

Then why would anybody a PS4 then? Doing that might hurt their sales if people can get what they want a PS4 for on something they already own. Exclusives is one of the main reasons why people buy consoles.

So, based on your logic that PS3 should become third party because PS3 didn't sold as much as PS2 (but still more than 360), then Microsoft should become third party after they failed with Xbox and Nintendo should become third party after they failed with Gamecube too, and seeing how they make a comeback after, I really looking forward to PS4

Yes, While we're at it we should make all games 3rd Party. That way there will be nothing to differ the many consoles in the market as we might as well have just PCs.

Yes, based on System Wars logic.  Whatever I don't like should become third party. I like Sony but they should become third party. Get it now?
