Sony.

The whole company is doing horrible. Their latest gaming system, PSVita, is doing terrible, and they're selling it at a loss. I don't know why Sony keeps selling systems at a loss, but I guess it's another one of those 'make a profit in ten years' plan. They really can't afford to drop the price, but it might be their only option at this point to bring up sales.

Vita currently has no system sellers, and it doesn't look like it'll get one anytime soon. Monster Hunter, which was one of the biggest series for the PSP, is coming out for the 3DS; sure, MH4 might come out for the Vita a few months after the 3DS version has been released, but many who were looking forward to MH4 may have already bought the 3DS version. Also, many of the Vita's popular games are also on the PS3 (a system that is cheaper and has a way better library than the Vita). Sony really dropped the ball with the Vita.


More lies Via will make profit day 1. Stop spreading bs

Anyway, I agree with the majority and say "Sony", from a financial standpoint. From a "who randomly stops making consoles" standpoint, I'd say Microsoft.


I think kaz is refering to overal deficit like research and development and marketing. Vita will be sold with a profit
