What would you do if Sony got out of the gaming industry?

It's just not that important. If it is then you need to check your life.

That's harsh. I like the Playstation "culture", the community, the podcasts, the "inside" jokes, the characters, and obviously the games... I've grown up playing PS consoles (owned them all). I'm so ingrained in it that there's no way I wouldn't have an emotional response if that all went away. I would be sad if it went. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't slit my wrists over it, and I'd probably get over it pretty soon, but still... it's significant to me.

Aren't you a Man U fan? I'm not sure how avid a fan you are, but wouldn't you be a little sad if Man U just fucked off one day? It's just as unimportant as a gaming brand.

I hate Man Utd. 

Oh lol. Well whatever team then.

But comparing a gaming company with football teams that are often at the heart of a community and often have a history that goes back over a century is bogus IMO.  But that's only my opinion.

Playstation has been around as long as I can remember, it's older than me, which I'd say is enough (along with my interest in it) to warrant its significance to me, and it is very much at the heart of a community, just not your traditional community. 

If my football team of choice vanished, I wouldn't stop loving and watching football. 

If PS vanished, I wouldn't stop loving and playing games. That doesn't mean PS is unimportant to me.
