Yes I as well don't want to pay for online but I anyways don't play that often online, so if Microsoft and their Xbox would be the only option out, than it would be not that a big difference for me.

i would kill myself, nintendo is to casual for me, and microsoft is to western for me

playstation will always have the perfect balance

I would probably be glad. 3 consoles is too much. I would prefer the most dedicated "japanese" & "western" consoles, meaning Nintendo's & Microsoft's, which I both own, to fill each others gap in games. Companies would split between those two while moving away from Sony, so it can only be a win-win situation having only 2 consoles in the market.

Err, buy games as usual.

that is just silly, the ps3 is the only console that is both eastern and western, you don't take away the perfect balance

I preferred the Megadrive, but still bought a SNES, i preferred the Saturn, but still bought an N64 & ps1, I preferred the Dreamcast, but still bought a Gamecube, Xbox & ps2.

So how exactly is not buying a SEGA console at all any help to SEGA? (Interested in other consoles games more or not)

A lot of you neglected SEGA, and thus when sony hang i won't bat an eyelid.

Sony is the gaming industry.

I would either go to PC or hope that microsoft don't shaft it's customers too badly with it's next console.

Nintendo would never be a viable gaming option for me because I am simply not interested in their first party titles and their third party support is often limited.

I would keep playing Nintendo as usual

I would drink wine, have sex, video tape both, post the video on my YT account with the title: "We Win"
