What are you talking about

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCE_Worldwide_Studios

and if youre comparing to 3ds then it did nowhere as good but the 3ds as got monster hunter, marioland 3ds and mariokart 3ds. 3 massive games. Sony shipped only 500k so thats the figures they were expecting. wait for it to launch ww and give it a year. can you remember the 3ds doom articles.

What I read from that article they "added" all company's who made games but didn't make them themselves.

I am comparing it to the 3DS (only other 7th gen. handheld.) And the 3DS didn't have those games at launch (bolded.) I was talking about the recent months. Yeah I remember those articles I guess we do have to wait. Still Sony put way too much into this console just like they did for the PS3 with it's cell graphics precessor and other "shiny new expensive things" and they thought they could price it at $600 and looked what that did for it. :/ Heck look how the 3DS did after it's first few weeks of selling ok and then selling worse and worse because of lack of good games and $250 price tag.

Didn't Sony say they shipped over 700k but when the figures came in they quickly said that was a lie and stated they shipped a way lower number. I'm sorry but the PS Vita isn't doing soo good it's not a complete bomb but it's not doing good first of all the sales are going down and it launched in the holiday season that says a lot. The 3ds didn't even launch during the holiday season and it still managed to outsell it. So really why are you arguing that it isn't doing bad when it clearly is sure it can change just like the 3DS did but until then currently it's not doing so good.

Anyways I don't think Nintendo would ever get out of the game industry obviously they are a company that focuses on video games so it's obvious they aren't going anywhere maybe third party at it's worst but they would never exit the industry.

Microsoft I don't think they will either they are doing so good now I just don't see it happening unless they really mess up big time which I just don't see happening especially with all the momentum they have right now.

Sony would be my pick only because they have been losing money for quite a few years. We also don't know how profitable the PS3 is to sony I know they make a small profit off it but when you take into account the whole hacking situtation and the fact that PSN loses money for them who knows how much they actually make since the division the PS3 is in is cluttered up with so many things so you can't tell what product is making and losing money.

I really don't think any of them will get out I think all three will try one more generation and see what happens. But like I said if the PS4 doesn't do good I just don't see what Sony will do.

So you didnt see the part about 16 studios god youre hard work. list of games from sony this gen

112 ps3 game

the search thing is a little crap but you get the picture.

I say Sony. This gen it always been the HD twins going at it against eachother and Wii doing exceptionnaly well on its own turf. Yes the rly low price had to do  with the sales and with the fact that it never got compared to the other two consoles, and with the WiiU aiming at a higher price we might see it get compared with the ps4 and the xbox720 alot more but nintendo will always have theyr fans and theyr franchises. I personally think that the only 1st party games that are REAL system sellers are from nintendo. Ppl buy nintendo consoles for zelda, mario kart, super smash, but I dont think ppl buy a xbox for gears and a ps3 for Uncharted, these ppl look at the systems power and price, and they will pick the one that is the most attractive and the exclusives would only be a plus. For example, I didnt buy a Ps3 over a xbox360 because of Uncharted, I picked it because of the blueray and the free online. Those were the factors that made me chose ps3 OVER xbox360, if the xbox had free online and bluray, I might have picked a xbox instead and I would be playing gears instead of uncharted and i wouldnt care and be happy with my gears and my Forza. BUT the WiiU, I know I will buy it and i wont care for a blueray or for the system's power, i WANT to play mario kart, zelda, metroid and smash. This is what i meant when I say that only nintendo has real 1st party system sellers. Sure all 1st party games help sells for a short period but Mario could sell a terrible console, while if microsoft or sony made a rly crappy console there is no way in hell that theyr first party games would be enough to sell it. If microsoft would have made the xbox360 with the power of the Wii, no one (atleast no gamers) would care for gears and no one would buy it and everyone would go for either Wii or Ps3.

So Nintendo IMO will stay, leaving Microsoft and Sony fighting eachother. And this quote above is exactly why I think Microsoft will win. Microsoft is doing a WAY better job at making ''home media consoles'' than Sony. Xbox offers so much now other than gaming that it is attracting alot of attention now. It is now known as a handy device that can be used by the entire family. Kinect attracts WAY more attention than PsMove. Sure... ''core gamers'' dont rly care for either right now, but ''casual gamers'' when they see kinect, they start dreaming of the possibilities, they imagine theyr video game characters doing the exact same thing they are doing (they will then be extremely dissapointed with the final result when they actualy try the Kinect games kinda of like most ppl who were expecting games like Zelda:SS were disapointed with most Wii games, but thats a other story), but when casual gamers look at PsMove, all they see is a Wii ripoff and they think ''I alrdy have a Wii, why would i need this'' 

This Gen, PS3 had the advantage of having the hugely known playstation brand and it sill failed to sell more than the Xbox360, and now with Kinect and all the media that Xbox360 is offering we saw its momentum grow ALOT this Holyday. With Sony's financial trouble  + the Vita that COULD POSSIBLY fail (not saying its going to fail just yet but IMO its a likely possibility) + the PS3 last in sales in this gen's console war = The playstation brand getting tarnished = Less costumer support (that reminds me, I didnt even mention the PSN hack lol) So next gen, the xbox 720 will have WAY more momentum and brand recognition at launch than the x360 had, a advantage that the PS3 had following the hugely popular Ps2 but the Ps4 will launch with the playstation brand tarnished.

These are all speculation, like alot of ppl said it is unlikely that any of the big 3 will go away from the hardware business anytime soon.

Ps: Sry for bad english :P

 Yeah 16 studios that they added to their company that are making games for them.

Nintendo because the 3DS is doing pretty bad (they had to cut the price massively just to sell any units) and I don't expect the Wii U to be anywhere as successful as the Wii, especially if its "Closer to $600 than $250" or whatever the quote was exactly. Anything over $400 I think its guaranteed to flop, that's too much for a console unless its the same price as Nextbox and PS4.

Sadly Sony due to Financials. This will signify the end of my gaming. Funny I was thinking today that Sony may be the next Sega

If your going purely by finances then Sony is the only choice.

MS will only leave the gaming market under one of 2 conditions
1) Sony leaves first
2) They no longer have their cash cows of Windows and Office.

Whilst I could easily see Office losing prominance to Google docs (if Google ever make it good), Windows is here to stay. MS will always have enough money to stay in the video games market. They have to stay in there to stop Sony winning the battle for the living room.

Nintendo will not leave any time soon. Even if their home console hardware sales dried up, they will have portable hardware dominance for a long time to come, and they would always make a killing from software regardless.

I doubt Sony will, but it is much more likely than the other two, so I suppose they get my vote. Regardless, even if they did quit the hardware market, they would continue to make games, either for another console, or for their phones.
