Even Nintendo doesn't keep the same name for the platform. I would say that "Playstation" as a name is weakening. It isn't top dog anywhere now. And with this, it loses its FUD factor. |
Wait, so are you actually affirming that you see a possible scenario in which the PlayStation brand no longer competes in the market because it simply whithers away due to a lack of popularity rather than being forced to shut down due to financial issues?
I'm not saying I disagree with you. That's just a pretty untraditional line of thought. I mean, while proportionally and historically, it's poor, but some odd 90 million sales for a console is not so bad as to get you thinking that the brand is going to die soon, is it?
By "too big to fail", I was just referring to (and probably misusing, :P) the common term. I just can't see it dying due to a lack of popularity anytime soon.
