| MikeRox said: Not looking great is it? In that case id either go with new platform (more for the East) but their emphasis on mobile makes that seem unlikely. Or full blown discontinuation. But, really... They have some pretty high profile releases in the coming weeks. Very uncharacteristic of the company that traditionally allows its older hardware to plod on as long as there are games being pressed. |
I don't think they would release a statement for the discontinuation, third party publishers shouldn't allow it as long as they still have some games in the pipeline. They will just cease their shipments slowly, starting with the Americas, Europe and lastly Asia. I think it will survive in Japan for a year and a half at most.
Just a random thought: "Weird of them not to try and make a hybrid mobile/handheld device that would suit Japanese audience and may catch some western fans. They must know that the demand is still there. And with the all other branches of Sony underperforming, relying solely on the PS4 for their Gaming branche would be suicidal."
