Sony is the only of the big 3 close to death.

MS and Nintendo are much wealthier companies.

Actually Nintendo stock has taken a huge hit during the last year or two. They really aren't in much better shape than Sony anymore, although I would guess they probably have less debt they still have always been a much "smaller" company than Sony. Nintendo is always just 1 or 2 bad console launches away from going under, they were already there in the mid 2000's but the Wii was their big comeback - which buys them another 5-10 years of survival.

Obviously Microsoft still has an extremely strong balance sheet, kind of like what Sony had in the 2000's. However I really believe Microsoft will be going downt he same path in 5-10 years. Can anyone REALLY see us still using Windows software 5 or 10 years from now? I certainly hope not. Right now MS is desparately scrambling to get a foothold in mobile and tablet operating systems, and I honestly don't see much success for them. I'm telling you get ready for multibillion write-offs every year for Microsoft. Their decline will look exactly like Sony after MP3's took away the Walkman cash cow... now tablets and mobile will be taking away 90% of windows customers. If Google or Apple get that foothold into the enterprise business, then it's game over for Microsoft.

Sony is a puny ant compared to MS.

False, Nintendo is worth 2.25b, Sony is worth 75.6b (Down from 82.5b 2 years ago)

Thats a higher res then MW3/BO

Black Ops 2

880x720=633600 Pixals

Other Cods

1024x600= 614400

Prototype 2 sold nearly a million copies and the pc version comes out next month. Not sure why all the activision hate, atleast they are trying to give the old devs jobs unlike EA

Well yeah. Do you think D2 would have lasted as long without PvP? It's a major factor in these games.

Diablo 2's PVP didn't allow players to buy the best items...

And we don't know how Diablo 3's PvP will work.

The thing about that is PCs generally tend to last from 2-5 years, while the average tablet tends to last from 1-2 years before a much better tablet is released, so of course their sales will overcome those of PCs, because their hardware becomes obsolete much quicker.

In fact, I plan on getting a Nexus 7 and Surface tablet next year, while I have no plans to get a new PC in the foreseeable future, because the one I currently have is still perfectly usuable and up to date technologically.

That makes no sense, An Ipad 1 is still usable, according to your logic as soon as a new piece of hardware is out the previous hardware is unusable. SO when a new GPU, Mobo, SSD hell even case comes out my PC is outdated? Works both ways you biggot

Most Gaffers believes it's the cost for R&D for PS4. Just saying ...

Would make sense. Explains Nintendos losses too

Ya Xbox has 3 cores but PC's either have 2 or 4.Meta-Gnostic

there are also 3 cores, anyway the reason devs go for dual core is because more people have dual cores then quads, thats it. If they were doing it because of the xbox they would pick quads instead of transfering the processes of the xbox's 3 cores and stressing it out on a dual core.
