Sony selling PS3s is not a choice, its economics. When the narket price falls below the price Sony wants to be paid to keep producing PS3s, it will be withdrawn from the market its that simple really. As for the rest of your post, you're making a lot of assumptions or bad judgements. You're assuming the PS3 will be out for a long time but market precedent is that losing consoles get withdrawn soonest. Hell you can still be buying games in 2012, but if most of the PS3 userbase has moved on retailers won't see much incentive to keep stocking new games and developers will stop making them. Lastly, have you used Xbox Live? If you haven't then how do you know its of no value to you, or at least no extra value over PSN which may justify the cost. |
yes it's possible that the ps3 could prove nonviable as the new gen starts. i really don't think this will happen as the price lowers and the games and functionality keep getting better. but i admit i am not good at predicting buying trends of consumers, because people are pretty stupid.
and i've used xbox live before plenty. i always thought it had a childish look to it. i find the psn presentation much more aesthetically pleasing.
