if Sony is "trying to stay alive" with 3 million more consoles sold in half the time than Nintendo

Then I dont know what "staying alive" means....

Sony =/= PlayStation (pay cuts)

Edit (from the article): "Although from a gaming perspective Sony is doing pretty well, with the SCE division a highlight of its financial reports, its TV, camera and other consumer electronic businesses have floundered for several years now. In the last five years, it has turned in four annual losses."

what are you talking about ?

What are YOU talking about?



Dat Sony dominance: The most recent Obon holiday week in Japan (just two weeks ago)

3DS - 51,000
Wii U - 18,000

PSV - 22,000
PS4 - 7000

lol

3DS about to get a nice bump with New 3DS launch and amiibo + Smash Bros. + Monster Hunter 4G coming.

PS4 realistically isn't going to even sniff half the 3DS' LTD.

Sony as a whole is nearly bankrupt...

The game division is one of the only things keeping them even remotely afloat.

Sony's Bank and Auto/Life Insurance business are what have kept it afloat.

Their mobile (as a whole, since it included VAIO) was in the red, their gaming is going to be in the red for years (in terms of losses they need to recoup) because of the PS3. Sony is *looking* better but they are still a gunk-rated company at current.
