MikeB, i thought i was gonna be the odd one out and say that, I dont think that they will bother at all, financially they have blown so much money on the whole project and are only now getting money back, if that is true im not sure, but with the recient price drop in EU i cant imagine their profits are massive on hardware atleast. they will probably run this generation as long as they can, pushing it more and more into the casual mass market, finally making money from it and than concentrate on PC games, or even PC hardware for games.
The main problem they have is that they cannot get any ground in Japan, and some may say that the market isnt that important, but it is, there was more PS2s sold in japan alone than xbox world wide. If they give up on Japan (which they have little option of doing, they may as well give up altogether.
