You people act like unless Sony sells more PS3's then their company fails. That's like saying if George Bush fails then the USA fails. Sony has movie division, TV shows, they make TV's, DVD players, BR players, and all kinds of electronics imagineable. The game division is just a side thing for the company.casey7672

thank you some people are smart enough to know this

I too have little faith in the Potentialstation 3's ability to survive for more than another year or so. Uncharted, Lair and Heavenly Sword need to pick up the slack before MGS4 and FFXIII are released. If the PS3 can't break 6-7 million units worldwide by the end of this year, Sony will certainly be in trouble. They need a big Christmas like the 360 got last year. Can Uncharted do for the PS3 what Gears of War did for 360? Only time will tell, but I have my doubts....

Why does it come down to "survival"? :?

If the PS3 still sells sluggishly for another year, they'll just lower the price. It's not like if sales don't pick up....*poof*...the PS3 is gone, and Sony's just going to throw their hands up and forfeit the billions of dollars they've invested into the home console business.

What makes you believe if they have worse sales then they have already that they are going to cut costs for their system? If anything their price is not going to change. If they are doing bad they aren't going to cutcosts to make things worse.

A lower price will attract more people.

Sony cant cut the price they allready loose money on each consol they sell. MS on the other hand makes about 100bucks per consol they sell, MS sells games on a 10gb disk and charges $60, sony sells games on a way more expensive disk for the same price. MS charges for online and %90 of add-on content. MS is out for your money i hate it, and that is the main reason I bought a ps3 instead of a xbox.

It's SEGA repeating itself, SONY are having to lose many staff to cut costs as the nintendo Wii are outselling the PS3's 5 to 1 even though their are shortages of Wii's and almost every hardcore gamer has at least played the 360.

I've set my doomsday clock at 2008 but of course some of you are going to attack me saying that SONY know what they are doing. So be it but please give a reason, I'll keep changing the doomsday clock to as many positive and netgative comments there are about SONY, k?

yeah cause this generation would only last 4 years. Nintendo will sell 200 mil in that time because they are going at the non gamers. Microsoft would bank on Nintendo success and sell 300 mil, because gamers got a Wii saw how crappy it was and wanted something better. both will release their new console at the end of those 4 years, telling consumers we enjoyed you money time to move on..........................................................:x time travel is a strain on my mind, need to rest.
