Sony.

The whole company is doing horrible. Their latest gaming system, PSVita, is doing terrible, and they're selling it at a loss. I don't know why Sony keeps selling systems at a loss, but I guess it's another one of those 'make a profit in ten years' plan. They really can't afford to drop the price, but it might be their only option at this point to bring up sales.

Vita currently has no system sellers, and it doesn't look like it'll get one anytime soon. Monster Hunter, which was one of the biggest series for the PSP, is coming out for the 3DS; sure, MH4 might come out for the Vita a few months after the 3DS version has been released, but many who were looking forward to MH4 may have already bought the 3DS version. Also, many of the Vita's popular games are also on the PS3 (a system that is cheaper and has a way better library than the Vita). Sony really dropped the ball with the Vita.

I dont think its to late for the Vita just yet. Sony needs to desperately get some games for it though. They also need to try to make the Vita sound like a much better option over the 3DS since the price difference is $80.

But they really need a "out of the park" exclusive game to bring the Vita back up. Hopefully FF X remake comes soon. :)

Nintendo. They don't even have the money to localize games outside of Japan, so I expect them to go under any day now.

It has to be Sony, with the Vita so far not doing good and Microsoft/Nintendo having great sales (even though Sony did good this year.) Sony doesn't even really develop their own games and they seem to think they can price their consoles at the highest of prices. It would be sad to see Sony go though, I would rather it be Microsoft. (gaming wise.)


lol WHAT!?

Vita doing bad?? Sorry but to weeks in and not launched in Europe and US how the hell do you know. Look at the launch line up, its western orientated. Vita selling ok in japan, not great but ok and until there a final fantasy, monster hunter etc it will sell ok for now

 

And dont get me started on sony doesnt develop its own games. Just lack of really gaming knoledge i guess

Play4Fun's doom posts were hilarious. I laughed for a straight minute. I'm still laughing at random moments. My throat hurts a little but so worth it.

Sony will be first, and then Nintendo, and then microsoft. Sony because they are using old business models of selling at a loss for years. Both Sony and Nintendo will eventually fail as handheld and gaming systems in general disappear over the next decade. Microsoft will be the last out because of their deep pockets and growing integration of operating systems and interfaces. We are in the waning years of having actual gaming systems...

Anyway, I agree with the majority and say "Sony", from a financial standpoint. From a "who randomly stops making consoles" standpoint, I'd say Microsoft.

Sony to go next.

oh...... @ ThePS3News......... that video again that just happens to be FULL of past and present sony reps, and not a single Nintendo rep saying anything?

That garbage (and no doubt endorsed and paid for by sony) video aint pulling the wool over any Nintendo or Sega fans eyes.

Yup I'm just stupid.... I just say random things and don't know anything I'm talking about whatesoever..... really?!

   The Vita is doing bad, it's not 'ridiculous' bad but it's bad. It released in a Holiday season and sold less than the 3DS in it's first week, and the 3DS wasn't even sold at a time in the Holidays and it had barely any games! Plus the second week dropped a lot! And their are still games targeted to Japan. (Dynasty Warriors, HotShots Golf, etc.) Anyway, Sony has like what? Maybe a few Sony made games? So please don't say I don't know what I'm talking about when clearly I do know. (just look at the data.)
