| z101 said: I think in two years Sony will be history, perhaps some parts of Sony survive, but the playstation brand will be gone. Face the facts the "Playstation" is not a big name anymore. 10 years ago it was the synonyme for consoles for many people, and perhaps better recognized as "nintendo" but today the playstation brand has lost its recognition value. The PS3 has lost billions of dollar and is the third (last) place in the current consoles cycle. The PSP got only popular in Japan. PSP redesigns like the PSPgo were big flops. The Vita is a worldwide flop. With the very cheap look-and-feel of the last PS3 redesign Sony hurts the playstation brand brand even brown. Sonys gaming division loses money every year since six years. There has been some marginally profitable quarters but overall the gaming division burned billions of dollars. If (to be honest it is not an "if", IT WILL HAPPEN only the point in time in the next two years is unknown) Sonys is a the end and will be liquidated the gaming division will be one part that will get not many attention. It not has lost as many money as other parts of Sony but it has lost money always. There will be not many interest to continue the playstation brand because obviously there is no future for the PS4 without investing billions of dollars. But with PS3 and Vita already money burner no investors would raise an eyebrow for this. Perhaps the brand will be sold and use for other technical things (like brands like "commodore" and "atari" has been) a few years after commodore (C64, AMIGA) collapsed. And it will not suddenly turn out good in the end. Face the facts, Sony is at the end of its history and will be liquidated soon. Many people already wrote facts based articles (me too: http://www.zimmer101.de/wiiu-spiele/sonys-niedergang.html ). Even so I prefer Nintendo games I feel bad about Sonys slow death. In the next ten years we will see if and how Microsoft and Nintendo survive. |
Sony's gaming division makes sony money now. You are talking about the tv division of sony that never posted a profit for 6 years. I swear you want microsoft and nintendo in the market and sony out. If sony does go out, i will play only on pc or get the steam box because less competition = bad for the consumer. You know why microsoft adds more features to the xbox 360? not just because of them wanting to make it a multi media system but because of competition. Competition pushes the other company to do something. plain and simple. The PS Vita is not gouging sony of money like the ps3 was because sony makes PS Vita's when someone orders it(target, walmart, etc.) and every vita wifi model breaks even and the PS Vita wifi/3g model makes sony money.
PlayStation not that big anymore? Are you serious?
Xbox 360- 7 years and it reached 70 million units sold
PS3- 6 years and it reached 70 million units sold
The gaming division is making them money(not a lot but nonetheless) since 2010 if i remember correctly
I am no fanboy. I don't want microsoft to go anywere, i don't want nintendo to go anywere and i don't want sony to go anywere. Sony is stabalizing but not much.
These are facts and not opinions. By no means do i want to anger you but you talked out of your a** and its true. Yes sony is in trouble but so is others. Zynga,thq,panasonic,and others. Have a good day
