It is no surprise that I am a big sony fan, although, i do not hate the other consoles I think competition is good. This generation nearly destroyed Sony financially and they had to close down several studios including: Zipper, BigBig, one of their UK site, and almost Evolution (hope Drive Club will gain a good following). If Sony leaves gaming, this industry will be dominated by just Xbox and Wii, and that will be an extremely sad day.

I hope PS4 will be very profitable for them so they can start buying studios again and expand again, I think Sony smartly invested in alot of first party during their PS1 and PS2 golden era which really did help to shelter their PS3 early years. Without studios like Naughty Dog, Gueurilla, Santa Monica pumping out exclusive after exclusive in the > 8/10 range titles PS3 would have sinked like a rock.

Let's support Sony again, so they can buy more studios or build new ones, keep up with exclusive for years to come! If Sony goes under, it would be the darkest day in Video game history. More so then when Sega when belly up. We have all seen how generic 3rd party games get...... FUSE for example, created by Insomiac which was doing such a good job during their First (Second) Party years now just pumping out crap like FUSE.. it would be sad to see ND or G do that.

I'm curious as to why you think Sony goes under, it would be worse than when Sega stop making hardware?  Sega was a video game company, that's all they did.  Sony makes a little bit of everything.  If Sony got out of the video game business, you really think that would be worse than when Atari or Sega did...or if Nintendo did?  When it comes to video games, I tend to root for the video game companies. 

While I believe that the PS4 will do fairly well for Sony, it's not going to fix all of their troubles.  The PS2 went gangbusters, yet LTD profits for Sony's gaming division as pretty low, especially when compared to Nintendo.  Sony needs to fix a lot of leaks in their company to ever get back to what it once was, if they ever can.



Stop hating and start playing.
