| Aphelion said: I have to ask. Any one here actually give a shit about sony ? I care about PS, but sony can go belly up today and i wouldn't even notice. PS will survive one way or another, the rest of sony well i just don't care about corporations like some on here to really give a single F about it. Let it die, who rally cares. |
I wouldn't be too sure about that. Who says any new owner of the Playstation Brand could make good use of it, nevermind the fact that in case of a liquidation of Sony there could very well be a case where someone else would own critical patents to the console, possibly putting the console to a dead stop. Also the fact that in such a case their rights for their exclusive games would be auctionned, and surely there will be some other interested in them. Just imagine Nintendo buying the right for God of war or Uncharted for a second, as this could be very possible considering how much money Nintendo has.
Sony should probably go on and sell anything that ain't related to the Playstation or the Sony Studios, as they are the only really profitable parts of the company. I don't see them recovering without bailing out of the other sectors, but Hirai doesn't seem to be willing to do so, which could possibly doom Sony on the long run
