There is a real chance Sony will falter in a few years and we may really not see a PS4. I think it is a real possibility that Sony breaks into small divisions and may pull a Sega and drop out of the gaming business.

I hope they crumble into lil bacon bits....mmmm bacon bits.

Seriously, No. They won't. This is yet another year of 3 systems coexisting. The only difference is the place in which they come out at the end.

I don't see it coming. So far, the PS3 has done ok in sales (though not as good as the other consoles), and will surely sell more once the price drops. Also, with alot of big releases in the future, it can only get better for Sony.

The difference is, GameCube was alwaysprofitable. Nintendo always makes sure they sell their consoles with a profit built-in.

What is the deal with people wanting Sony to stop making the Playstation. I doubt many people were saying this when the PS was the most popular console on the market, or when the PS2 was selling like crazy. Now that MS and Nintendo can legitimately compete with Sony everyone wants them gone. Now befoure anyone says anything about MS and Nintendo legitimately competing, the N64 lacked just enough that Sony pulled ahead, the Gamecube had only a handful of good games and the Xbox was good, but being that it only sold 40 million to the PS2's 120 million plus when the new gen started shows that it was still lacking. Back to the point, Sony is making some of their best games ever, they are finally starting to pull exclusive content again, and the PS3 and its games are doing better. Why do people want them gone. I own all of the consoles, I love my PS3 and my 360 (sorry Wii, MadWorld isn't enough) and wouldn't get rid of any of them. Without Sony, who would MS target as their competition? MS just wants to beat Sony, so they do what they can to do that, without that competition they don't have to try. Besides that, if Sony left, there would be no Uncharted, no Killzone, no Resistance, no God of War. Sony isn't leaving and I hope they never do. Between the console and games, I will always buy their products.

Sucker punch got sued for "copying" Prototype

Zipper got invaded by terrorists

Japan now hate the ps3

Insomniac went crazy saying "all life will end, all hail the Chimeraa" hmm i wonder what they ment

PSN ripped people off by secretly taking money off poeoples accounts becuase they were playing online

and the 10 year life span just turned out to be a joke.

I don't think so. PSP and PS3 sales are okay enough for them to remain in the console business. Plus, they still have 1st-party dev support on their side, despite being the last place console, many devs still think it has alot of capabilities. Also, Sony practically has divisions spread out over all of the entertainment industry, so it'll be difficult for them to fall. They're losing money, but not enough for declaring bankruptcy. The difference between Nintendo and Sony is that one's just a console manufacturer/publisher while the other has stakes over the entire entertainment industry.

Apparently if you can post on System Wars you're qualified as a professional analyst.

Sony won't just keel over in a day. It's been around for decades and it will still be here for years to come, regardless of your "expert" opinion.

Sony has basically been gaining and losing profit this gen, so overall, they are just getting by. By losing 1.5 billion, they lost their holiday's worth of profit of game software and console hardware combined.

Sony will be fine. But it's basically guaranteed the PS4 will not follow the PS3's business model :)

PSdual_wielder
yeah, but even when the gamecube was at its worst nintendo still owned pokemon. cartoons, cards and movies. they always had profits from the gaming comunity, and even though the cube didn't sale as well it still paid for itself. sony doesn't have those back up franchises and they're seeing losses all across the spectrum. i think they'll be fine, but if anything gets scaled back it would be the internal development of the gaming industry.

Whether people think so or not, Sony is here to stay. Yes, they had a very rocky start with the PS3 and they didn't have very many exclusives, but they're slowly turning it around. Sony has most likely learned their lesson with the PS3 and how it started, so I'm sure they'll use that knowledge on the PS4. Sony does still have some issues that need worked out, but what company doesn't?

PSdual_wielder
But the difference is, the main focus of Nintendo is video game entertainment, so they have no other choice. Sony has many different divisions with different scopes, and the real question is how much profit from video gaming division constitutes to their overall profits to really care about it that much...Look, if MS pulled itself from video game industry, they wouldn't be even crying, because they are bloody rich anyway.

sony has made a wrong at the begging of this gen they was thinking that they will lanched an very expensive console without a strong line-up that would sell like ps2. of course this wrong has cost them billons but now they have fixit (ps3 has becomethe console with the best line-up)and i am sure that they won't give up. the will release ps4 but with another strategy (cheaper with good exclusives)

There is a real chance Sony will falter in a few years and we may really not see a PS4. I think it is a real possibility that Sony breaks into small divisions and may pull a Sega and drop out of the gaming business.

Is it just me or has anyone else noticed that every company i know are in problems except the oill market. MS have a lot on their plate as why are people going to pay to get new PCs or Windows 7 when they can run most of what the average person needs on XP? If you made a list of all the companys who made losses recently i don't think sony would be too close to the top.

It's just fanboys being stupid. Sony is not going under. This dude is always creating topics bashing Sony and the PS3. Alot of the Sony hate comes from people who can not afford the PS3.
