It's called paranoia. There are far more Sony doom articles. They've been going strong since 2006. I think the few Nintendo related articles can be ascribed to the fact Nintendo posted its first loss since forever recently, so that probably got the ball rolling.


Sony doom articles started when...Sony started to screw up. The PS3 started off as a disaster, they had financial troubles in the company, the Vita is currently doing badly. People jumped on that.

Meanwhile, even when Nintendo was having great success with Wii, they were consistently proclaimed to be doomed.

Things seem to have shifted to Sony now because of Vita and MS, as usual, remains immune to The Doom.

Nintendo screwed up as well and that is when the articles about their doom hit overdrive. 


The Wii and DS years were the some of the best years in Nintendo history. They were raking in enough money to use as toilet paper. That's some screw up.

The Wii and DS years are still ongoing. Add their sudden demise to the lackluster 3DS sales in the beginning and you get a recipe for doom.

Oh and doom articles are written more frequently around a new console's launch too. Expect the same for PS4. Nobody in the media seems to hate Microsoft enough to write some original doom-spin articles about them.


None of this goes against what I said about Nintendo consistently being procalimed doom even when they are doing extremely well.

In terms of being doomed - Nintendo > Sony > MS.
