My prediction for what Sony will do with SCE:

Keep it. They'll scrap other divisions and sell various intellectual assets for finance but since they wouldn't get a good price for SCE they'll cut their losses. ie. They'll continue to produce the PS3 but won't drop the price unless it's selling at a profit. They'll continue to make software, but more conservatively. Lower budget, lower risk titles. They'll lean on third parties for bigger titles. They will not spend money on R&D for future consoles until they are in a more stable financial position.

Cutting back on your own development, and leaning on third-party, when you are the last place console, is to end up putting yourself even further behind, because you don't have as much of a chance of producing exclusive killer apps.

 

 

Yeah remember how nintendo was able to survive in the n64 and gamecube area.  3rd parties almost all abandon them.  It was there 1st party titles that pull nintendo through.

Nintendo is a conservative, low risk company. Sony are in a wholly different situation than Nintendo was.
