Maybe not. The guy who made PS what it was also destroyed what it was. o kenny boy!

Sony is D00M3D! Everybody knows that!

no they cant

there are other great alternatives like samsung, lg, and even panny for tvs i believe they will never get this area back. for the gaming accept you know what this site is about cause iam no business man or tech geek, so i dont believe im qualified to talk bout sony as a whole.

i think theyll never ever be as big as they where with ps1 and 2 unless they get all the 3rd party exclusives they had, b/c imo this is really why ps1 and 2 dominated. this gen PS has had the most and arguably the best exclusives compared to the others than any other gen and it didnt really matter in the end, and it shows in the raw numbers. its exclusives dont sell as much as the other companys exclusives or more importantly as much as multi plats, to me this shows that ps2 and 1 where only big b/c of the exclusive 3rd party SW. the problem this gen was that for the 1st time it shared the 3rd party exclusives with MS, nobody gives a shit if there playing there favorite 3rd party game on a console other than sony, they cared about playing there favorite games 1st and cheapest, b/c of this sony lost alot of market share to MS

going forward more and more 3rd partys will go multi sony will continue to release there great unique exclusives as they did this gen but they will never get back the dominance they once had in this division

It is in these dire situations when a company comes from out of nowhere and suprises us all. In the late 90's Apple were on the verge of collapse. Now look at them.

I find it laughable that so many are buying into the mindset that got Sony in trouble in the first place. High risk does not equal out to high reward. What it does equal out to however is a high failure rate. Since I am taking issue with sayings that are overly optimistic. Fortune doesn't favor the bold either. The only thing that favors the bold is a early grave. Sony will need to take some risks, but those need to be calculated risks. However that isn't what they need to do the most.

It is patently obvious that Sony knows how to take risks even ludicrous ones for that matter. Lately it has been less daring or visionary, and more arrogant and stupid. Which susses out the real problem the company faces. One of having more balls then brains. Sony grew so cocky over time that it slacked off on the fundamentals of doing business in a smart way.

The company needs to become competent before it should even consider taking risks. That means getting back to the basics of operating efficiently and profitably. Sony needs to secure its foundations before it goes jumping off of tall buildings. I am going to say a heresy now. Sony shouldn't set the goal of being the best. Just the goal of being effective. They just need to discover how to get the job done on the ground level.

I voted no, because in this case I don't think a tiger can change its stripes. I just don't see Sony being able to reign in its overreaching nature. What it needs to be is conservative, and I have seen no evidence that Sony can be that. All I see is a company that wants to take big risks. Sure they could thread the needle, but that would owe more to dumb look then a profound insight.

I predict the responses here will be funny

No.
