Should Sony take the Sega route next generation?

Ignore hardware and just make games for the next generation Microsoft and Nintendo consoles much as Sega did after the Dreamcast?

Maybe they should so they can actually turn a profit this time.

I think they should all stay. I'd be pretty happy if Sega came back to the hardware side too.

Hmmmmm....no.

But I would like to see different consoles other than Sony, x-box, or nintendo.

A Dreamcast 2 would be sweet.

Not at all.

What in the world is going on around here? I mean seriously? Sure, I have only been here on System Wars for about 2 years, but where in the world are people getting these rediculous ideas that Nintendo, Sony, or Microsoft are in deep danger of going 3rd party or just vanishing from the industry all together? Why is it that when a console maker is going threw a hard time everyone has to start speculating when exactly they will go 3rd party?

Sony isnt going anywhere, their next console might be significantly lackluster/weaker when compairing it to the compitition, but there will still be a next gen console from them.

Nintendo isnt going anywhere either.

Same goes for Micro$oft

Isn't PS3 mostly only losing the "SW" in the US? Also I might add that they are loosing at such a slight margin that compared to last gen it would be like not really loosing because it is so close.

Why should they? They're only mistake was launching a $600 hype machine (lol 1080p, 120fps, 4D) with no games.

The PS3 would have likely dominated if all three consoles launched the same year at the same price.

Blu-ray would have pushed units like the PS2's DVD drive.

Why?

:lol:

No.

microsoft should go the sega route with xbox, thenthey just port HALO to PC and evereyone will be happy

No, because someone worse will most likely join.

no, not at all. as a business, hardware is important for sony. the blu-ray drive in ps3 had a significant impact in the demise of the hd-dvd and saved sony a ton of money as well as put a lot of players of premium priced movies in people's homes. the greater demand for high definition hardware complemented sony's hdtv line. 3D games will do the same with 3dtv's. sony isnt just a video game, movie, tv, and computer computer (among other products). they are an interconnected electronics company.

Sony needs to continue making hardware, but they need to be realistic towards the world market and not just depend on their older success stories, and archaic views towards what makes good games and good services.

Pretty much this.

At least the TC is responding.

And no.

Sony shouldn't and neither should Nintendo.nintendoboy16

More competition is a good thing.Zeviander

Is it?

I feel sorry for not playing Halo or Gears of War because I will never own 2 consoles at a time. I only have the PS3.

More consoles = more exclusives for each

My question to you is should Nintendo and Microsoft have ignored hardware and just made software after the PS1 and PS2 demolished them in software and hardware sales?....

No competition is good for the industry.bbkkristian

You forgot to add *sarcasm*

Without the 360, the PS3 would still be $599.99
