Who said anything about doom for Sony? I just don't believe that any company serious about staying in the console market can ignore a next-generation console for very long. Nintendo isn't trying to directly compete this generation when it comes to raw performance, but they did have to release a new platform to say in the game. If a new Xbox comes out in 2-3 years, expect to see Nintendo and Sony follow suit.
My guess is Nintendo and Sony already have their next-gen systems in the R&D phase. Does this mean that Sony's next system to compete with Xbox will be a quantum leap in performance over the PS3? Who knows... Nintendo didn't have to go that route this generation. But it does mean that Sony will have to come out with a new console that at least offers buyers a reason not to jump on the next Xbox bandwagon.
