Forums - Sony - Macroaxis: Sony Has 79% Chance of Going Bankrupt in the Next 2 Years

DonFerrari on 30 December 2013

And Nintendo 20% chance comes from their HQ being nuked by MS. That seems more probable than bankrupcy.

Q4 will be important.
But i don't see them going bancrupt, only selling off some divisions.

And basing this of sony's Game division is a little bit dumb, because it's sony second smallest division.

They always say this and yet somehow the company pulls through.

With Nintendo's chances to go bankrupt in the next two years standing at 22%, that entire thing (whatever it is) must be complete trash. Not that the figure for Sony wasn't suspect to begin with.

This is based on statistics, not on the real market situation of the company. Most generic companies in Sony's current financial situation go bankrupt etc.

With Nintendo, very few businesses are as volatile as games. It's totally realistic that no one would buy a 4DS in two years, but not realistic that no one would be buying strawberries, or iron, or insurance, or airplane tickets. So the number doesn't represent the market situation risk well.

22% chance for nintendo to go out of business, 79% chance for sony to go out of business ? In 2 YEARS, the fuck ?!

As much as the stupid moves sony made with the PS3 and Vita this won't happen anytime soon. 22% chance of nintendo going out of business was dumb. This garbage is worse than a michael pachter analysis.

There's more chance of microsoft dropping the xbox division than sony going out of business in 2 years. LOL

If Sony was smart they close there game hardware department and tvs. Cameras are also creating a loss and with phones being able to the job with additional services.

Sony's gotten it's clocked cleaned in electronics for over half a decade from the likes of Apple, Samsung, and Nintendo. They are no longer a dominant form in any area. I don't see them reclaiming any ground in cell phones tablets or tvs. Plus their debts outweigh their assets. Their stock is junk status. They've sold buildings to hide crappy financials. I wouldn't be surprised at all if Sony bites the dust.



Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:


If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.

If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.

These predictions clearly came out of there arse. No one is going bankrupt

Prediction: Switch 2 will outsell the PS5 by 2030

Wow 79%? Why don't they just give up now?
