The topic of this thread is fundamentally flawed. Sony has not disrupted the PC market, they're disrupting the cable companies. Microsoft too. If you look at it from a media point of view you would see that gaming, though included in both respective platforms is not the primary focus of the parent company, especially in Sony's case. The PS3 is a testing ground for Sony's music & film divisions that just happens to play games occasionally. The early SKU's did have minor PC features but those were scrapped due to lack of consumer interest and high production costs. Sony taking a loss on HW for marketshare and hoping to recoup that on SW may have worked in the past but they have less to work with this time around and 3x as much competition. SW won't even help them break even this gen. They have some of the worst selling 1st party titles of this or any generation. I don't believe the Playstation brand can survive another gen with losses like they had this gen. Disruption may have been something Sony could do well in the past but the PS3 has spread what little resources they had very thin. Teh doomed?
