Is it harder to be a Sony, Nintendo, or Microsoft fan?

I'd say Sony, because it's hard to push a console for a company 1. that is expected to declare bankruptcy soon. They seem really panicked and unhappy. Even at a cheaper price and more markets, 2. it's barely leading.

But it's interesting, each of the fans of a company seem to reflect the values and principals of that company.

1. That is not expected.

2. I wouldn't call over a 1.5m lead and counting in just two months barely leading. It's selling about twice what One is doing every week now.

It comes down to the games too.  They just don't seem to have the high profile games down that are exclusives.  Te big ones they do are multi plats.  Just looks like it will be rough waters ahead.

And the Bankruptsy part, unfortunately many analist do predict it: http://www.ign.com/blogs/kingalex94/2014/01/03/sony-has-a-79-of-going-bankrupt-soon

It's been going that way for a long time.

Declaring bankrptcy is not the end for such huge corporations. GM declared bankruptcy in 2009 but the government could never let such a huge corporation fail with 200,000+ employees and so helped reorganise the business by closing and selling off factories and subsdiaries. And GM has a huge $172bn in debt so it was in a worse position than Sony is right now.

Similarly Sony with 140,000 employees would never simiply go out of business for just declaring bankruptcy. The government would rescue them first.
