I don't agree... I don't think consumers will just turn away from the Playstation brad... but that's why we all have different opinions I guess... I think 60 million consoles sole is an absolutely failure by Sony...

Given how rapidly people have historically turned away from Atari, Nintendo and Sega, I don't really know why Playstation would be any different. People have already shown the ability to drop brands like a rock.

Too much 3rd parties support. Many AAA and AA games for ps3 are in 1-2 years for developement and won`t be canceled. Don`t worry, after E3 you will understand :)

 

Right, I'm not arguing that Sony can't come back; if they do, it will be because of games and other considerations -- as you've just mentioned -- not because people can't bear to let go of the brand.

Nintendo, Sega and Atari have all seen their empires crumble extremely rapidly. This suggests that brand recognition doesn't have a great deal of cache once a new generation arrives.
