Sony isn' t going anywhere

I don't expect to people to comment this. I expect people to stop with absurd statements of Sony dying. It's not like the Vita is the only thing Sony is selling. Stop with those doomsday threads to Sony.

In that case you'll be disappointed.

Vita is doomed. Sony is dying. Making this topic makes you look butthurt.

The "stop saying X company will die" threads are more annoying than the actual "X company will die" threads.

I like Sony. Got a 46" Bravia, Vaio laptop, and a PS3. I know many people who only buy Sony(occasionally Samsung especially since Sony phones suck) so I doubt it will go under but hey who know.

It's all about advertisements, if Sony wanted to, they could make everyone in America buy a Vita, they'd just have to out-advertise Apple's iPad. Franklinstein

The product needs to have an interesting feature for that.

You are basing yourselves in the sales of one console to a country that worships Nintendo.

Sony sells Playstation 3, TV's, Audio systems and other things. It's not like the Vita was going to put them in front of the market.

It's foolish to declare a company dead based on these first sales. Obviously you know anything about economy.

This reminds me

Wait, so you mean some dumbass prediction from a random dude on the internet isn't going to be true?

That was a close one, I was about to sell my TV.

This is a gaming forum so when people say that Sony is going the Sega way they (hopefully) don't mean the entire company. Sony executives won't greenlight another console if its going bad for them financially gen after gen.

***** Note ****** This picture is real, from the riots in the UK.

Sony IS in big trouble. They had to sell of their LCDs to Samsung, and their Spiderman propriety. Also it seems like Sony pictures will be sold in the near future. (Wall street speculation.) Sony/Ericsson is also being devastated by new companies like HTC. I don't think Playstation will be going under, at least not for a while.

Obviously, you've fell for a trap that you should have ignored and not taken seriously.

That's the whole point of the "Sony is doomed" topics. It's just to get Sony dick riders to whine for everyone's amusement, hence this topic.

Sony is not doomed. Although they do need to smarten up and start launching their products correctly. PS3 is my favorite console this gen, but they did some really stupid things at launch. The Vita's launch also could and should have been handled much better in Japan. Either way though, Sony is not doomed.

I don't think they are going anywhere either. I think people are concerned due to the poor sales of their Bravia T.V., Blu-Ray players, and other electronics. They have been in the red for the last 3 quarters. Vita did sell poorly after the initial launch, but so did the 3DS. We'll have to wait and see how it does in the US and UK regions. Sony's stocks had dropped 50% as well. See for yourself.

Not trying to be a hater. Just trying to provide some proof as to why some people are saying that Sony is dying. I personally don't think they are, but they haven't been doing great in the market the last couple of years. I think they can recover over time.

Not, doomed since they just brought sucker punch last year...but they need to clean house.

I'm not a Sony dick rider, I got a ps3 this Christmas. I always owned a PC, and I had a 360 since 2008. I love the gaming world, I don't «marry» a console, I just play the majority of games I can.

Here, I defend Sony because most of you don't know what you're talking. Just because the crowd says Sony is doomed, you all agree.

If Sony was bankrupt, the next-gen would be a total flop.

Playstation 4 wouldn't exists, so no core game exclusives

Xbox 720 will pour a lot of focus on Kinect, so a lot of casual games

Wii-U is a casual console, enough said.

The route Xbox is taking with the casual stuff and Kinect is what it's making me like less of Microsoft and more of Sony. I am not an economical expert, but I have the standard teachings to know that such thing won't happen.

The PSVita wasn't even released globally and you already doom it..

I really like the products Sony makes. However, I am suprised they didn't learn that a price tag on a product is a huge deal. Some companies like Apple might be able to get away from that, but Sony can't.

What a silly thing to say. Japan is the only country where the PSP is still alive, and you should know that if you want to convince people that you know what you're talking about.

The only profitable division Sony has is SCE, and if the Vita fails then that will become another money toilet like the rest of their divisions.

You think that's all us Vita-doubters are basing our beliefs on? If so, then no wonder you seem confused enough to create this thread.

Sony's older LCD HDTV were crap, but the new LED Bravia are pretty good. I don't like the way their apps are set up on their menu though. I like Samsung HDTV a bit more. I own both so I can easily judge the quality. I'll be getting a 40in Samsung HDTV in the future.

Also, to the person who mentioned Sucker Punch. That movie bombed at the box office. It cost $82 Million to make and only made $36 million back. I thought the movie was decent, but not great. I gave it 3 stars out of 5. So that movie would have actually lost more money for Sony. Luckily Sony didn't produce it. It was Warner Bros.

I think he meant Sucker Punch Productions. (The makers of Sly Cooper.) :P

new ps3 owner here as well, picked one up a few weeks ago. already completed uncharted 2, working on uncharted 3 and god of war 3...that is, when i'm not playing gears 3, bf3 or skyrim 3 on 360. just downloaded dc universe online yesterday, pretty good for free i gotta say.

uncharted, while good, is overrated imo.

then sony sells off it's interest in lcd televisions and starts to outsource all their tech divisions. lol, ironic right?

Guys, stop bending over for Gamespot. That's what they want, go back to your Playstations and let's hope they RROD on their precious console.tjricardo089

sayyy what??? :lol:

Sony won't be going anywhere, however they can't continue the way they have been they need to change their ways and change them fast. They're up to their necks in debt and have already started selling off assets, and I can see them down sizing the company in the next few years, will this effect their gaming division who knows.

Anyone who says that Sony is not in a world of hurt has not looked at their quarterly financials lately. That being said, I hope they can reverse the ship. But they are a big company with (probably) too many employees and they definitely have too many products.

But they will in about a few years from now if they keep it up with more big losses throughout most of their divisions.

I won't deny Sony is hurting. I think people here tend to overlook, however, that the Playstation brand has been turning profits for Sony - it just gets forgotten among the losses of Sony's other divisions.
