Sony failed a lot of things this gen (not including idiotic console e-peen races) but I see no reason for them to discontinue a console that they invested so much into and have a games division and a new media format relying on that 20 pound machine. Gamecube imo failed 3x as hard but was still a fun system and never was discontinued or N64 or SNES which all didn't do well in sales.
People act like because Sony finally comes in last place now they should all of a sudden give up and admit they're terrible. People like seeing the successful fail but I still don't see a reasonable fact why Sony would gain more from canceling the Ps3.

These "failed" consoles were all profitable, which is what matters in business. The PS3 can have more sales, but it's meaningless to the company if they can't get any money out of it. Sony seems to be in a very weak financial state, which is the reason all the "doom" threads have been appearing - I don't think the same could be said about Nintendo, even in their Gamecube days.

Nintendo always made a profit off of the GameCube due to cheap manufacturing. It was a very cost friendly system so they could cut the price of it quickly.
