disolitude said: This thread is quite ridiculous...but ill bite. Sony's time to shine was when the industry needed a new physical medium and complex hardware ever new gen. Since digital distribution is the way to go and DVD/Blurays are no longer needed and x86 is the hardware of choice, I begin to wonder why Sony is still around on the console side. If PS4 doesn't really take off, Sony can probably make more money being a publisher if they keep making these great games...which is what I actually see happening down the road. Google and Apple will bully someone out of the gaming industry in the next 10 years. |
Don't forget Samsung, which show interest in the Video Games market for a while now.

Right...
Honestly, the same way Sony got in to the industry is the way someone like Samsung could get in. (money, hype, cross brand promotions). And who is to say that Samsung won't buy as awesome studios and developers as Sony did?
I don't see why anyone would shed a tear over Sony or Microsoft in this industry. Any huge corporation can take their place...
