Ridiculous. Sony is in the shitter right now, but so have both of its competitors been in the past.
Yes; MS and Ninty were still making money on the whole when they had their "failures."
Yes; PS3 has spent all the money that PS2 made them.
No; Sony's "10 year plan" and the PS2 and PS1 staying power are not relevent if the PS3 loses 6 million a year.
Yes; they will probably "bail" on this generation.
No; it will not be because they've dropped out of the video game business.
Yes; it will be because they are fielding their next gen system early.
They took a risk, put out the equivalent of a really nice basement, and have spent all gen building a nice house on top of it, copying some of their neighbors features (lawn gnomes, the garage remote, that there purrdy picture window in the front...), and they've lost a lot of money doing this. Still, they're not "just" a game company, so they can weather a storm and still field something new in this lucrative market.
