I'll tell you this...... I have been playing on Sony and Nintendo systems since 2003. I just realized it's been 10 years! If Sony drops out, I would become a Nintendo+PC player. It would be a very sad day for many including me.

Well, the PS4 has some hard core game fans so they will buy.

Outside of the hard core gamer, there isn't really anything unique about the PS4. It' doesn't have a Tablet or Fitboard like the WiiU, it doesn't have Kinect and SmartGlass like the Xbox One, it doesn't have an exclusive format (like Blu-ray) that the PS3 had. It's just a little game machine, all be it a very powerful one, with an optional super expensive Vita tablet if you want to add that too it.

They are going to have to work hard to convince people other than hard core fans the reasons why they have to buy their system. They will do fine at the beginning, and probably Japan.

I think if the PS4 doesn't sell that well, they will stay in gaming on other platforms, but cut back about half of their creation. They will dump all the 'marginal' money makers, and keep the biggest ones. I think the PS4 would have to have just miserable sales for them to drop it. Even if it sells like the GameCube they will still be making it.

I hear they might stop making TV's. It would be sad to see Sony become just an insurance sales company.



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned.

Same thing would happen if Nintendo closed doors... we'd cry lol

At least Sony and Nintendo offer something more then shooters from their 1st party titles



I hate to be a grammar nazi but that thing was a pain to read. As for your question, well it would be a sad day for games everywhere. Especially on the internet since it's mostly run by Sony fans. And



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

What if the sun doesn't rise tomorrow?

Actually PS4 has a camera for it and while extremely more expensive you can buy a Vita and have very similar function to the Wii U

Right, I did point this out that the PS4 can have the Vita as a tablet.  But it adds a significant amount to the price.  The WiiU comes with a (small) tablet, and with the Xbox and SmartGlass you can use any tablet you already own.

And yes, the PS4 has a camera. But it's not packed in or mandatory.  What have they shown that it can really do?  Good or bad, I haven't seen anything significant from the PS4 Camera yet.   Plus they are at a disadvantage anything they do will be compared to the Kinect. 

While gamers on this site are overjoyed, I think they are in a tough place for the general purchaser as to why they should get their system over the others.
