What you say.?


I say you’re an idiot. You can come up with the same logic for Microsoft to get out of the business, and if you did, you would be an idiot.

You could have said the same thing about Nintendo after the GC, and you would have been an idiot.

No, but I question whether Sony can survive in the industry outside of first place, nintendo can make a profit even in last place, but Sony probably cannot



 

Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)

I don't think so. Even in the worst scenario I can realistically see happening, the PS3 still has enough exclusives too far in development to cancel, and multiplats with the 360 to keep it alive for quite a while. Their first party games aren't anywhere close to the level of Nintendo, but they've already got more decent 3rd party exclusives than the Gamecube got during its lifetime.

Sony leaving the gaming industry after this gen is possibly, but would probably only happen if all the other divisions started doing badly, and it became necessary to ditch the biggest money drains in the company. Otherwise they've still got enough resources invested to make another go at console making a risk worth taking.

haha that's probably a better question.

But seriously there is no way Sony should look at the PS3 and suddenly decide to leave the gaming industry.  They've seen the massive profits that they could make from the PS1/PS2 generations and walking away from that will take more than one failing generation, which BTW I don't consider the PS3.  They may be taking record losses and the gaming division has its' work cut out for it if it wants to see profits again soon but the PS3 did already help Sony.  The PS3 effectively won the war for Bluray and therefore it has definitely helped Sony out in the long run even if it stays a distant third in console market share which is unlikely.

Also if there is one thing the Wii and this generation has taught us is that each generation is a new one.  You can't count out a console based off of past performance so PS4 is a whole new ballgame.  Sony hopefully will learn the truth of that statement also that you can't ride off the success of past performances either and will come out swinging. 



Everyone who called Noobie an idiot is an idiot too.  This is a gaming forum where you can come and post whatever your thoughts on gaming are, no matter how uninformed or wrong they may be.  A simple, no this is why you are wrong would have been much better than some of these immature responses.
