Sony must accept the fact that they have failed this generation. First off the dominance the PS2 enjoyed in the past was not replicated with the PS3. Second, they are failing financially. If they expect to make any sizeable profit off their gaming department their strategy needs to change fast. Third, they have failed at innovating the industry. Everything Sony does is a rip off of Nintendo or MS. Aside from Blue ray and the occasional title that is original, Sony has sunk in to the realm of imitators and mediocrity.

I once thought highly of Sony. I believed they were really taking gaming to the next level with the development of the Cell processor and PS3. I expected big things. But now I see Sony has failed. It may not be the biggest failure, but it will have an impact on their future development. Really, whats the point of carrying on in a growing market if you still stand to lose money because the competition is too strong?

Perhaps Sony would be wise to pull out of the gaming industry this generation and cut their losses like Sega did after the Dreamcast. They could still focus on making good games, but make them for other consoles on which those titles will sell well and generate more revenue.

Why not own up to their failure and bow out with dignity? Leave the gaming industry to those who know best, Nintendo and MS.

you obviously have MS confused with another company.  MS bought MS/dos, stole windows, compied there console and controller from Sega.  May I also remind you that Nintendo did not invent the console, not the controller, not motion controll, nothing.  All three of these companies have copied someone elses idea when it comes to gaming.  In you own statment you listed the only "new things" any of three did, the cell and BR.  Everything else, including the motion control has been done before.

I guess MS should get out of the software business because companies like Google and Apple are taking there market share away.
If a company decided to leave a specific industry just because they went from #1 to #3, you wouldn't be able to play a Wii, because Nintendo would've left after the SNES.  N64 Failure , Game Cube Failure.  Wii massive success.

I'm sure Wii fans are glad Nintendo didn't jump ship.

 

@Zombl337 - overprised garbage?  I agree the price for the PS3 is too high,  But that is because it is built with standards and quality, unlike the garbage that MS calls hardware.
