The PS brand is profitable and their recent troubles have been from their other divisions not their gaming divisions. I don't hate Nintendo at all. The only current gen systems I own are a Wii and 3DS ( I used to own a 360 but I gave it to my brother ) I have no ill will towards Nintendo.In fact I used to be a giant Nintendo Fanboy ( During the PS 1-2 era I didn't own any of those systems and never even wanted to play them, I blindly stuck by Nintendo like a tool. ) Sadly I'm not anywhere as optomisstic as you. I have no faith in the core gamer at all. I don't think they like Nintendo at all and I believe that their disdain for them is massive. I predict that the Wii-U will suffer the same fate as the Wii. As successful system that is hated, mocked, and ridiculed by the core gamer. They will only buy the next Xbox and PS systems. |
As far as your view on WiiU's future, we'll just have to disagree. What you predict is certainly possible, but I believe your conclusion is overly extreme.
Regarding Sony, however, what you are referring to is that they have finally begun to turn a yearly profit as of late from their game division. So they're no longer losing money in their PS/Vaio division yearly, but they will never recoup the money they spent on the PS3 for the rest of this entire generation. Almost all of the profits made from the PS1 and PS2 eras have been wiped out due to the PS3, with no chance of recovery. And not IGN or any other gaming media source can change that or dictate their success in the future. They've lost billions of dollars and the PS brand has lost a lot of marketshare to the Xbox brand this gen, particularly in America.
