Honestly? Sony. I know I will get attacked by all the Sony fanboys now, but this generation has been good to both Nintendo and Microsoft, but not for Sony.

I'd say, Sony: screw the PS3. It failed. It will never make back the money you invested in it, so start over with a blank sheet and fix all your errors with a new console. You'll be the first in the next generation, which is a great advantage to have. When does Sony need to release the PS4? I'd say around August 2011.

However, I think Microsoft will be the first with a new console (probably somewhere in 2011, followed by Sony and Nintendo in 2012).

 

PS3 failed? Wow that's news to me.

 

  The PS3 has been nothing but an embarassment to Sony. The creator was forced to step down shortly after its launch. Six-Axis, Dualshock 3, PS-EYE, their new motion controller and backwards Compatibility have all been embarasments for the console. It's lost them more money than the PS2 and PS1 ever made in profits. They've lost numerous exclusives (Devil May Cry, Final Fantasy, Monster Hunter, Grand Theft Auto, Silent Hill, and so forth, so forth and so forth). They're the only company who has not gained ground in the market this generation, in fact this is the single greatest fall we've ever seen for a company from one generation to the next.

If the PS3 isn't a failure then I'm not sure I like the new definition of success.

Do not spin things. The money they made on the PS1 is untouched, and they are making profits now.

 

Really? Is it in a special trust fund. We know for a fact that the money the PS3 incurred in losses in just one quarter was far more than the PS2's lifetime profits up until that point. And the PS3 isn't making profits, the PS2 and PSP are as Sony's Gaming division barely keeps its head above water.

Nintendo earned profits in excess of 1 billion dollars the first quarter of this year.

M$ is for the first time making a profit off of their gaming division.

And Sony is at its lowest point ever using the PSP and PS2 as life preservers for the PS3.

There's not much to spin, just ears that don't want to hear it.
