If you think Sony's "demise is exaggerated" then why do you think so? I don't think it's 100% certain but I do think Sony is on its way to said demise for the variety of reasons I listed. Do you have any reasons for why Sony breaking the bank and not selling as many units as it expected (especially since the PS3 seems to have a 100million+ install base built into its business plan) is not a bad thing? I don't mean reasons like blind fanboy faith or simple the world is as it always shall be attitude, or trust that the Sony big gun AAA titles will save the day, or that someday in the distant future maybe half of Americans will have HD TV's and be able to benefit from the PS3's extra capabilities, or that 3rd party devs will suddenly decide they don't like money and would rather spend their resources maximizing Cell for the greater good of Sony. Sorry if I precluded your reasons there, those are the most fatuous excuses I've heard so far for why Sony isn't in a bad spot. If you do have good reasons I would like to hear them, no one is perfect and I may be missing something after all. |
Wasn't the walkman of the 21'st century supposed to be the NW-HD1? You do know how much money sony makes right? Can you seriously imagine how much in losses it would take for a company like sony to back down? Seriously...... betamax, minidisc, and various other ventures went on for an extremely long time because sony is not the company that will drop the ball and run.. leaving all those who actually purchased their technology in a lurch.
Yes sony's demise is exaggerated because people seem to assum that either sony is a small company and cannot take (or cope) with losses. I think a little bit more of a financial study need's to be done on your part.
Games make me happy!
