Well... its Playstation and buildings.... If the worst comes to worst, they will just keep on selling buildings to survive until one die they file for bankruptcy but I don't see that happening for a while (as in decades)... Yes they are losing money in virtually every other department (except a select few) but they have enough to keep them alive for a while

Yep all the departments! Another one who examines the finances of Sony for a living

Never said all the departments...

Glad to see such passionate Playstation gamers lol. I am far from embarrassed and saying childish stuff like owned is why Sony is in trouble now. FYI i own both consoles so I'm not just an "X-Box fan". I am a 100% gamer who's life doesn't revolve around being the bigger asshole than the next fan. My favorite console was the Dreamcast and I know all too well what it's like to own a console with so much promise goes away.

Really?

I will say this to the entire Playstation Nation, buy shares in the company if you love it that much.  Right now they have a junk credit rating.  Games cost $60.  Pretend its a game and buy 3 shares.  If 5 million people from the Playstation Nation do this thats  $180 million dollars.

Think about it.

SAVE SONY

I think you'd better edit your OP if you want your words to be consistent with your claim. There's just a bit too much schadenfreude in your OP to be able to take your innocent neutrality claim seriously.

I'm not quite sure how childish comments on internet forums is why Sony is in trouble. Can you expand on that a little?

just long enough to win gen 8 maybe,going down on top

... Referring to the OP; what's $180 million going to do? That's peanuts compared to the billions upon billions upon billions of debt they're in.

Gaming doesn't bring in enough profit to even matter. Sony is in financial ruin and everyone knows it. That's fact. Where they go from here is anyone's guess. But just because the picture isn't rosy doesn't mean the article is dumb.



Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:


If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.

If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.

Nahhh, the article is pretty dumb for the most part seeing as how the journalist didn't know that Sony wasn't living on playstation but you are right about the picture not being rosy ...

Most internet gamers don't/wont accept Sony is right now in HUGE trouble. I think Playstation itself coul exist without Sony. As in acquired before liquidation or sold off. But I don't expect Playstation to be what it is today by 2020. Nintendo and Xbox are worth more than the playstation brand in business terms. Xbox is worth more than all of Sony at $23 billion for example. Sony in its entirity is worth $19.5 billion, but also has more than triple that in debt.

Did... did you just compare the theoretical value of a brand (based on the sales ratios of a single other company i might add) to the real world market cap of a company? :P

Using similar logic you could theoretically value the PlaySation brand as worth more than Sony itself, which technically it is. I assume you can see the flaw in such a comparison?



Sony's xperia brand is growing.. Selling more and more each year.. They want to get to #3 there..

Cameras and movies should also help them keep afloat.. Unfortunately TVs need to get dropped price wise.. But that still hasn't happened

Also why is it always the whole company? It's like as soon as you're a fan of one product a company makes you become a fan of the whole company, am I the only one that's bothered by this? I mean I really like the PS brand of home consoles, but that doesn't mean I enjoy everything Sony, I don't care for Sony music or for their TVs or even the Vita and I suppose Xbox fans don't all have a raging hard-on for Excel, the Internet Explorer or Bing, so why call the fans after the company and not after the product?
