Sony losing money and lowering projections seems to be the norm. Whats amazing is that it doesnt affect Sony fans morale one bit.


How should our morale be?

A bit more humble, if you ask me.  Sony is slowly dying and PS3/Vita lovers (the more vocal ones) still talk about how great Sony is doing.  "Sony is dominating in sales", "Wii U isn't even as good as a PS3", "Xbox has no games", "3DS sales are weak", "Nintendo lost money this quarter", "Microsoft had to write of 6.2 billion dollars" etc.  Yeah, I'm generalising based on the behavior of a few.  If it were my company/console of choice, I wouldn't be so quick to throw fire at the competition.  I'm sure Sony would rather be Nintendo or Microsoft right now.

To be honest we are happy because of all the software we are getting - once the financial situation impacts our enjoyment of games then we will probably start to change but for the moment the goods are still being delievered even though the dire situation they are in.

so no, I refuse the humble pie my good sir.

Socom/Mag dev? Think Sony closed a Vita dev or two. ThatGamecompany exclusive contract not renewed? Its not much but it has begun. 

But generally, if the corporation loses a lot of money, then shit is bound to flow downhill into all subsidiaries. It is blissful ignorance to keep praising until the very last second. 



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

The only person I've ever say things like that is Turkish and maybe the occasionaly noob.

My response goes in line with d21lewis. I liked how you origionally said "our", putting yourself into that category instead of being neutral. 

Again, to your response here I think more then ever how sheltered you are on this forum. 



I said "our"because I'm a Sony fan. I thought that was clear.

I feel ya!  I'm playing Gravity Rush as we speak (DLC mission with the burning airship).  I just remember being happy with all of the great games I had when I got my Dreamcast and then things went really bad really fast.  I actually trash talked the PS2 quite a bit when I first got my Dreamcast.  I felt pretty bad when I was watching CNN and saw the news story saying that Sega was killing the console.

@Jay520, it's normally the vocal youtube community that behaves like that.  We're pretty civilized here on VGChartz most of the time.

You just stole my point.  I was an old school Sega fan too and was in denial so much about the financial situation of the company that when I saw that story on Gamespot I felt like a close relative died.  I don't wish that feeling on anyone.  The balanced Sony fan would do well to heed our warnings ...

Those developers were shut down because they were not producing. They would have been closed regardless of Sony's financial situation.

I do not understand your second paragraph. Sony fans are aware of Sony's troubles. Why should that make them immediately cease their appreciation for Sony software? Should they just stop being excited for The Last of Us or God of War?

But of course, your response will probably refer to YouTube browsers, whom I don't truly understand.

I think its more appropriate to post it like this:

-Some link that show Vita getting games-

--Instead of showing 3ds having canned games--

Vita is getting ton's of games, it has the best launch compared to any system.

We can keep going through this point but some people are just ignorant.   Do we really need to list every single game every time for then people to just go l0l it's all shovelware and watered down ports.  It's getting boring.

I refuse to get too involved with financial talks, as long as I get my games that I like, I refuse to care about anything else.

I'm sorry, jerking off to the finance pages is not my thing. I'm a gamer not a Stock Trader.
