Hopefully the doom and gloom is only temporary. I would hate Sony to take too much of a hit. I may prefer 360 this gen, but Sony hurting, means gaming will be hurting. That is not a good thing!

 

Yes because we can't have a video game company being the leader in the video game market.  IT HURTS GAMING. 

 

 

 

Just real quick:  WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!?

I am personally glad Nintendo is leading the way, but TTH is right: if Sony gets hurt, gaming will get hurt.  It's in no small part the competition from Sony that caused everyone to step up their game, and if gaming went back to a two horse race it would not be to our benefit as gamers.  Sony's part in the gaming business means more money for publishers and developers and it means more competition between consoles makers to produce the best products.  When a competitor in a narrow market struggles like this, it's the consumer that gets hurt the most in the end.  As a consumer of video games, I'm pretty damn sure you don't want Sony to be hurt too badly by this even if you hate Sony and refuse to buy any of their products.  And leadership has nothing to do with this.
