Well, that was a real concern back then. The company as a whole doing badly, PS3 losing lots of money, games leaving the platform, competition having traction on market and the system was way overpriced.
Technically, the article is six months early, but the problems were visible even at the time. Looking at it in a context of gaming media expecting a company making half a billion in profit a year with it's core business to exit the market, it kinda makes sense them expecting a company making a billion a year in losses with it's non-core business to exit the market aswell.
Anyway, Vita proved PS3 wasn't their last console, and we'll likely see PS4 aswell, but I'm not sure if it's what people would want it to be, as Kaz hinted a few years back, we could see a Steambox-kind of system.
The current situation where Sony fans stand currently, is like having survived a plague, but winter is coming and crops are still on the field.
