Even if Sony were to leave the gaming industry, it wouldn't be the end of PlayStation, they'd sell brand and tech to the Japanese best offerer.

Or to Apple. Dear god...

As much as it hurts me to say. I think, right now, the Apple brand, the Appstore and iTunes are so strong they wouldn't even need or want the Playstaion and the PSN brand (btw. can you imagine Playstation with iOS :( ).

I think Samsung would be the best candidate, in that case.

A good candidate indeed, but I'm sure the Japanese government would do everything possible to keep PlayStation Japanese, so maybe Panasonic or Mitsubishi or Fujitsu, just to name the first three Japanese giants I found that currently enjoy good financials.

Yes, you're probably right, but I can't think of another japanese company who is big and influent enough, or has the resorces, to take Sony's place and compete with the Microsoft giant. (maybe Nintendo ^^). 

Panasonic, for example, makes excellent products but they are sure a lot smaller than Sony, not to mention inxperienced... they have already failed once in the home console market.
