Why?

Not offended, just curious. 

I look at it like that as well. I mean, I'm a big Playstation fan, but really it's mostly because I love a lot of the first party games, and the people who make those games would still be making them if Playstation didn't exist... they would just be on another platform.

Id still get all the available major consoles on the market.

Indeed, what's wrong with you people?

OT: Stop living, there's no purpose in life anymore. I wouldn't even have to kill myself as I would instantaneously die the moment Sony leaves the business. You see, I'm no ordinary fanboy. I wasn't made or molded to love Sony; I was born for Playstation. I was born on the exact day at the exact time Sony released the PSone (and my mother wasn't even pregnant at the time - it was a spontaneous birth). My first words were "Pley-stay-shun." I could play playstation before I could even open my eyes. Everything about me is Playstation. If Playstation stops, I stop living.

I guess Mircosoft wins. I would buy their console, or upgrade my computer, maybe both. Either way, they get my money in some fashion. Really for ground breaking, new experiences what other option do you have?

I would probably stop gaming

Honestly wouldn't change much for me. I've always liked PlayStation for 3rd party support, so that would just move to another console. Team Ico would be missed though.

That's harsh. I like the Playstation "culture", the community, the podcasts, the "inside" jokes, the characters, and obviously the games... I've grown up playing PS consoles (owned them all). I'm so ingrained in it that there's no way I wouldn't have an emotional response if that all went away. I would be sad if it went. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't slit my wrists over it, and I'd probably get over it pretty soon, but still... it's significant to me.

Aren't you a Man U fan? I'm not sure how avid a fan you are, but wouldn't you be a little sad if Man U just fucked off one day? It's just as unimportant as a gaming brand.

I think that the direction in which Sony takes the industry is not the one in which I want it to go. So, even though I don't want Sony as a company to fail (people's jobs, Japan's economy, etc.), Sony getting the hell out of video games would be great for me.
