2006: Yuta Sakurai, an analyst at Nomura Holdings, Inc. has a gloomy outlook on Sony's hardware future.

The appointment of Hirai could be the start of a shift from hardware to software. I cannot now imagine a PlayStation 4.

RIP PlayStation 4?

Yeah, good times

no one thinking clearly really believed that pezus. It was very wishful thinking, hamfistedly concealed as concern.
The same thing is happening with vita now. Save your threads folks, because vita will be fine and there will be a lot of crow going around.



It was never as bad as people make out! Sure, there was a lot of anti-Sony press, but the whole 'Sony should drop the PS3', 'This will be last console Sony make' stuff was laughable, they were never going to do that. Same with the Vita, they just won't think 'Fuck it, let's move on'. They'll support it, and they'll turn things around, just like they did with the PS3.

Also the funny thing is that they're making fun of Phil Harrison in that video. Guess where he is now

@prof: I know, but still, it was all over the media. I saw at least one "news story" about it every month or so. 



LOL! I didn't know he was with MS. I just googled searched it. He also worked with gaikai...

This is the perfect time for it. A time when PS3 is outlasting all its competitors, after the shit it took, is amazing to think of. Nobody would've believed it back then.


If this were the very first month that PS3 beat both its competitors, sure. But that isn't it, is it? PS3 has been destroying this article for months; hell, more than a year, now. Why didn't you post it back then? With the only thing remotely connected to PS3's sales in recent news being its laughable NPD performance, the fact that you posted this now and not before really looks like damage control.

Not to mention, by your logic, I could cite some 2005 article that says that Wii will never sell more than 4 million in a year and shove its 2012 sales in your faces. I hope you understand how silly and moronic that would be.

Be our guest. However, that would look like extreme damage control considering the Wii is now done selling and the Wii U will not follow the Wiis success



Does anybody remember that Dev that said that Sony should apologise, take the PS3 back and redue it all? i know i cant be the only person who remembers that. I can't find the link to who that developer was

Does anybody remember when there was a picture at Bioware of their employees shitting on a PS3 poster? as if to say that it was a garbage console and was also a subliminal answer to the ps3 fans who were asking if Mass Effect would be coming to the ps3? I cant find the image of that either right now


remember how Sony's interviews were back in the early ps3 days?

Does anybody remember Vegamo from the early 7th gen console war days on the battlefield(youtube)? Vegamo was the 360 guy everybody went to before there was GeneralMLD. MLD didn't have SH!T on Vegamo lol

I can't believe i can't find any of his old videos. He moved on from the whole console war thing a few years ago though and it honestly seems like MLD is almost at the point of moving on aswell from the whole console war thing for the most part

 

Edit: ok i'm done linking videos

Pezus made you angry?

 

Edit:  you have to remember that people said that BEFORE the Wii released so it was never really doomed and it didn't have a future that llooked and seemed hopeless. The PS3 launched and was surrounded by doom. The Wii was successful from jump

HaHa, of course theres gonna be a PS4
But a PS5?

And here we go again



i never thought the PS3 would be their last console, actually i thought it would rule with ironfist.... I have many doubts about Sony and Nintendo releasing more consoles, sincerely..


Well, once upom the time Apple was in serious trouble like Sony now over many years. That must not mean the end. We will have to wait. As we have no idea so far, how the PS4 will turn out, it is far too early to say stuff like that.
