I don't think that gaming division is in trouble. The PSP and PS2 make money and the PS3 will be profitable soon. If we're looking in the future, it's a possibility that the ps4 won't be as "complicated" as the ps3 were a few years ago, so they'll be fine.

But they could close the vaio and sony-ericsonn divisions.



again.....how many topics on the same problem do we need

there 3 on the front page ATM

At CES after SONY announced so many new things I highly doubt they are closing their major divisions



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

only on vg



i hope they dont close the play station division. im a xbox fanboy, but more competition is good for everybody.it will keep microsoft on there toes and always going for exclusives.it will also ensure the quality of games on all systems(because i for see that if ms or sony go out of business then the last 2 will go for the large casual game market). in fact i believe that we need at least a 4th console on the market, and hope that the last thing they do is get rid of the playstation brand. also i feel really sorry for all the people that see this as a good thing. and 1 last thing is i feel really bad for all the employees that are losing there job

I been into games long before sony showed up,

and i will be into them long after sony is gone



Last year's game of the year turned out to be Silent Hill : Shattered Memories (online GOTY was COD 6).  This year's GOTY leader to me is Heavy Rain.

Nobody's perfect. I aint nobody!!!

Killzone 2. its not a fps. it a FIRST PERSON WAR SIMULATOR!!!! ..The true PLAYSTATION 3 launch date and market dominations is SEP 1st

this can very well be locked now. Sony restructured everything. Game Division was merged with like 4 or 5 others into a division similar to Microsoft's.

I know all companies are struggling, but Sony seems to be hurting more than most.



PREDICTIONS:
(Predicted on 5/31/11) END of 2011 Sales - Xbox 360 = 62M;  PS3 = 59M;  Wii = 97M

I doubt that Sony can just axe Sony Ericsson, because Sony is only co-owner in SE. Sony can't just terminate SE without Ericssons approval. Also big part of SE operations is outside Japan.

Big games like GT5 can sell well, but if you consider how huge project it has been it's possible it will never bring any profit to SCE if they keep it exclusive to PS3. If Sony brings GT and GoW series and other exclusives to PC like MS does, it could sell almost twice as much games it would sell only in PS3.

 

Yes it can and yes it will.

The problem is, it's not released yet.

Sony needs more games out more quickly, even if they are shovelware.

 

and as for the roumours?

Well, what can I say. If it's not Fleetwood Mac I'm not too concerned
