If Sony doesnt release the Ps4 this year and Microsoft releases the 720, its game over for them. They have no choice here. Its either release this year or face bankrupcy.

NOPE.

I hope you were being sarcastic because if you really belive that you should probably seriously re-read that and see how ridiculous it sounds.


It doesnt sound ridiculous at all. Sony is in a difficult situation, and the PS3 did not have an easy first 5 years. With the Wii U dominating Japan and with Microsoft dominating the US, both unopposed for one year will leave Sony in a difficult situation in the market.

I dont know if you've been hiding under a rock, but Sony's credit rating has been cut to trash. This means that just to pay their debts Sony is gonna incur on an interest rate that should be about the 10% by now. That is a really difficult situation and why the Vita has not received a price cut. Sony needs money fast, they cannot afford any more mishaps or delays. If the PS4 fails to be competitive quickly, Sony will lose even more investor support since the Playstation is their most valuable brand at the moment. If that brand falters, theres nothing else preventing Sony from sinking like the Titanic.

 

If its any confort, i do wish that doesnt happen as i'd like to get a PS4 next gen. Believe me, Sony doesnt want to wait until next year.

Not sure if serious.....if a delayed PS3 release at $600 didn't destroy the Playstation brand, nothing will.
Yes, a delayed PS4 will make it an uphill battle in the 8th generation of consoles but Sony isn't only in the video games market. A failed PS4 released wouldn't bankrupt the company. That is just ridiculous.
