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"

 

Very true, that said the fact Sony have lost so many potential customers can possibly hurt them next gen. Ignoring the fact the Gamecube was dead last now the Wii is first (mainly because it has opened the gates to gaming for many people)

 

Nex gen unless Sony do something similar a lot of the PS2 fanbase that migrated to the 360/wii this gen will stick with M$ and nintendos offerings. I think if Sony want to do well next gen they need to be innovative and bring something truly fresh and original to the market.
