You are absolutely right. But you did use the word "likely" yourself. I just made what I think is a very valid point: the PS brand is some of the last Sony products that have any reason to be in danger. |
When a company's credit rating is this low, ALL options to cut losses are on the table, including Playstation R&D, as well as their losses sold on each console.
It's a smart move that they're looking to use off-the-shelf hardware for Orbis, but if Sony decided to follow Nintendo's model and refuse to sell the console at a loss, do you think that would drive more customers to Microsoft? In a situation this dire, Sony have little choice in such a matter.
Had Sony NOT had the first party development that they did with the PS3, they'd brobably be looking at exiting the game industry altogether. Now if things go bad, at least they can become a third party to other hardware manufacturers...
