cuberandgamer on 30 December 2012

Sony has too much money to go bankrupt this soon. I'll give them a few more years than 2.

I think in two years Sony will be history, perhaps some parts of Sony survive, but the playstation brand will be gone. Face the facts the "Playstation" is not a big name anymore. 10 years ago it was the synonyme for consoles for many people, and perhaps better recognized as "nintendo" but today the playstation brand has lost its recognition value.

The PS3 has lost billions of dollar and is the third (last) place in the current consoles cycle. The PSP got only popular in Japan. PSP redesigns like the PSPgo were big flops. The Vita is a worldwide flop. With the very cheap look-and-feel of the last PS3 redesign Sony hurts the playstation brand brand even brown.

Sonys gaming division loses money every year since six years. There has been some marginally profitable quarters but overall the gaming division burned billions of dollars.

If (to be honest it is not an "if", IT WILL HAPPEN only the point in time in the next two years is unknown) Sonys is a the end and will be liquidated the gaming division will be one part that will get not many attention. It not has lost as many money as other parts of Sony but it has lost money always. There will be not many interest to continue the playstation brand because obviously there is no future for the PS4 without investing billions of dollars. But with PS3 and Vita already money burner no investors would raise an eyebrow for this. Perhaps the brand will be sold and use for other technical things (like brands like "commodore" and "atari" has been) a few years after commodore (C64, AMIGA) collapsed.

And it will not suddenly turn out good in the end. Face the facts, Sony is at the end of its history and will be liquidated soon. Many people already wrote facts based articles (me too: http://www.zimmer101.de/wiiu-spiele/sonys-niedergang.html ). Even so I prefer Nintendo games I feel bad about Sonys slow death. In the next ten years we will see if and how Microsoft and Nintendo survive.


Right so playstation isn't a big name anymore. Yet the ps3 still managed to outsell the 360 in 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012, and the wii for the past 2 years. Despite launching at $600 and over a year later than the 360 its on the verge of passing it. You tell me how that's a brand that's lost all its recognition value.


What's wrong with you? Did you identify him as 360-fan and felt you have to bring this into argumentation? z101 is a nintendo-fanboy, your profiling failed.

But the 360 fan is right there 2 point it out, dude serious.............does it really matter?

Lol? I was comparing the ps3 to its main competitor to try and back up my point. You'll also see that I mentioned the wii. Learn to read before you try and call someone out.

Well one thing is for sure, regardless of what happens to their other divisions, at the very least Sony Pictures and Sony Music are virtual empires and are not going anywhere. Now I could see trouble for the other divisions as their gaming divisions is nowhere near the dominating industry it once was and their TV division is bleeding money.

Oh, no offense ;) I was just surprised to read the whole set of arguments over and over again, where it, to me, didn't fit. But ok, you can back up your point with whatever you want ;) It's strange though that z101 posts a link to an english forum which contains German... nvm!

Sprechen sie deutsch ja? Mein deutsch ist nicht so gut. Ich habe nur 4 jahre in der junior high und mittelshule. Es ist ein wenig rostig.

It would really suck to see their TV business disappear because i am planning on buying one on the near future, the xbr series is looking dope. They need to manage cost better and innovate on cost saving technologies.

I expect a rebound.. because of playstation 3 and playstation vita..

they're making a significant profit of PS3 hardware/software sales and the same goes with the Vita.. and it's over priced memory cards..

So I'd expect them to post a lot of profit standing on it's gaming division alone.. that and their mobile division seems to be gradually growing..
