Hard to say if Sony would of survived or not. You cannot change history. What has happened has.
On a side note, I still think Nintendo where right about cartridges in the N64 days. Only problem with them was they were too expensive.
All this optical disc crap means games get damaged easier.
I really hope we move away into flash memory carts like DS games have but much bigger for consoles.
There will be no need for installs of games as they will run quick enough from flash.
Now that Sony is working on a new optical format again. I bet it will fit in below the Holographic Versatile Disc still in terms of space, Sony knows how to milk money out of people. This will no doubt send game prices up by a good $20 because developers will try to use the whole space and go bankrupt in the process lol.
