you gotta love these people who predict Sony are doomed/ sarcasm, will you all stop this please...
if Sony leaves you do realize you will be losing the only company that has ever pushed for technology changes, for example they introduced us all to DVD, and Blu-Ray, seriously without Sony the industry would become stagnant, is that what you all want??
Tell you what Nintendo may never have jumped to using DVD-based technology if it was not for Sony, and Microsoft would never have thought of even jumping on board either.

Sony isnt the leader of anything anymore.

They trail every single market they are in.

Even bluray sony only owns 30% of the format and HDDVD did the exact same thing for half the price.

With walkman and betamax sony was at the forefront....not anymore

just like how it's dissapointing for sony to only sell as much as x360 in america right, lol, it actually outsold x360 worldwide, it think that is a very clear sign if you ask me, plus it has never come anywhere near x360 sales in america before(as far as i know, not been here that long lol), so yes it is impressive.

I know Wii is dominating right now, but Sony is on a roll, and Micrsoft should be very worried right now, especially seen as it actually sold less than the PSP for two weeks in a row (worldwide)

Finally betamax was a flop, and we all know that, but blu-ray is doing very well unlike HD-DVD
