Okay, this needs to die here. Sony's gaming division is not in a good position for eighth gen. The PS4 is. The Vita still is and continues to be a money losing flop. You don't get to just ignore half of the playstation's gaming division. The Vita is a failure. That's like saying that Nintendo is in a "good position for the 8th gen" because the 3DS is doing well. No. They aren't.

Hehehe... I guess an opnion can't get any more twisted than that. You are wrong though and here's why.

Sony's gaming division (Playstation) is made up of PSV, PS3 and PS4 right now. IIRC thse are the only platforms they still have in production right now. Samsungs Mobile division is made up of the Galaxy S, Note, tab, mini, duo, ace, grand...etc. Now just like samsung, it doesn't matter if one arm of sony's gaming divison isn't successful (in this case the vita) because at the end of every fiscal year, sony's game divison records a profit. Kinda like how in that list of samsung devices, the duo, ace and grand are nowhere near as successful as the S, note and tab ranges but the successes from the other devices are enough to carry samsung into mobile profitability.

Same way you say you don't get to ignore half, is the same way you don't get to ignore that the overall playstation division is doing great, even if its on the back of two out of the three platforms supported. 

If you wanna talk business then talk business like an investor not like a gamer. And in business its simple, if Playstation was  a seperate entity of sony, then the question for an investor will be, is the brand profitable? And the answer would be a resounding yes. That is a fact. 


The point was the 8th gen, not overall. The Playstation brand is not in a "great position" for the 8th gen.

My point still stands. Sony's 8th gen gaming devision is half failing. That is a fact.
