Very unlikely. Sony has experienced how much money can be made from consoles so this is unlikely. Another unlikely scenario: loss-leading strategy next-gen

 

They have also experience how much money can be lost. Havn't they lost everything they made from the PS2 era?

 

Thats why I stated that there would be no more loss-leading strategies. If nintendo had lost 3.5bln lastgen, they'd have been awfully close to collapse. Sony is (or used to be) a  bigger co. so they'll survive.

Sony's gaming division was the most profitable in the past, you guys really expect it to get canned now? Sure they lost a lot of money but the fault came from within and could've been controlled. If it was just because of competition, I'd say they're more likely to pull out but this is really a classic scenario of "learn from your mistakes"
