Does anyone think Sony will pull the plug on the PS3 or PSP?

Sony not being a games company well in the eyes of Nintendo no they are not a games company but in the eyes of Microsoft yes they are a games company.The PS2 was what made Sony MASSIVE and the profits made by PS2 could have probably kept Sony out of red ink all by itself.

Why would Sony leave after one little mistake-pricing-Sega made tonnes of mistakes before they ever backed out and they where just a games company.Sony will stay in just because gameing as been very profitable for them and losing a few billion dollars is nothing major to them and they will release a PS4,5 and 6 remember the interview with Ken"Father of the Playstaion" saying he plans for PS4/5/6 and beyond even though he isnt head of SCE anymore SCE will still have him design parts of the nextgen PS.

 TVs, computers, and other electronic hardware was what made Sony massive.  They were big(ger) before the PlayStation than they are now.  Sony is NOT a video game company, not to Nintendo, not to Microsoft, not to itself.  Sony is a multimedia entertainment company.  Their gaming division is the black sheep of the company, and with the PS3's recent poor performance, the Sony higher-ups are starting to get irritated with it.

Gaming has almost never been profitable for Sony.  They take a loss every quarter.  They cannot afford to be losing money if they aren't building market share (which they are losing in excess now).

Sony claimed they would make 9 PlayStations, with the PS9 being the end-all video game console.  It doesn't mean they'll get there.  Sony also claimed the PlayStation 3 would sell 6 million consoles in under 6 months, and now they're looking at 4 million in 9 months (less than half of their expected sales rate).
