exclusive_console said: @Kynes and Kowenicki Care to explain. How big is financial services. Since how long they have been doing it ? PS is more than 10yrs old. 300+ million consoles sold already. How is it comparison to gaming. I think Financial services is free money for them which they obviously will like to continue. Gaming and entertainment is what Sony cares about most and so do millions for PS gamers :) PS3 is only 6yrs 70million, next 5 yrs I think they will easily go past 120million. So much still left where as other consoles are already done and dusted. PS4 ans also with cloud gaming they are going to set new standard in console gaming again.

No. What I am saying PS brand which is the leder in gaming is more popular and probably the best thing about Sony.
Financial services, who would ever even know if they do not look FY report. Nobody will know Sony about Financial services.
A) They aren't the leader in gaming.
B) Investors, stock holders... pretty much everybody who matters.
If Playstation were to disapear. Gamers would be sad. If Sony Financial were to disapear... gamers would be sad... because Playstation would be right behind it.

They have sold most consoles in gaming history. PS2 is still being sold in Asian countries. PS3 is expected to last even longer.
Thier exclusives games set standards in console gaming in different genre.
I never said they should stop their Financial services. However not one will be telling their grand children about it. People will say they played the great PS games on their childhood. Who knows in a decade or 2 what gaming will become ?
As I said already it is probably the best thing about Sony. User if they can charge for online gameplay, which is ridicolous. They can get lost of free money via it. Probably next gen when 720 will cost probably 100$ subscription fees for online. Sony will also charge :(
