I can see Sony discontinuing the PS3 when they release the PS4. It is more likely that Sony tries to start the next generation much earlier than expected.
If Sony did plan on exiting the console business they would sell the Playstation brand to another company.
If this thread is truly focused on what would happen in a 2 horse race between Nintendo and the 360, I think you would find both systems splitting Sony's market share. Personally, I would play my Wii and enjoy my next gen gaming on my PC.
Look at the financials for EA, Konami, Namco, etc and tell me the impact of Sony getting out of the consle business. The Playstation platform accounts for anywhere between 60% - 95% of their revenue.
Thanks for the input, Jeff.
