I don't think Sony is going bankrupt anytime soon, they are making the right decisions now. As for PS4, it will top 100 millions easily, but not going to be the best-selling console ever.

Playstation could survive as a spin off brand even the rest of Sony dies



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

Sony has over 19 billion in cash on hand, they won't go bankrupt, so keep dreaming guys.

And the PS4 WILL at least challenge the PS2 as the king of home consoles. You can print it!


Please tell me it's in Yen

100 million mark is possible and probable
120~135 is my guess

And around $14b in debt

If they don't go bankrupt, which they probably will. Do you agree?


What does "probably" mean ? 80-90% chance of it happening? or less?

Why do you think they will go bankrupt?

Holy crapola, is this a reputable source?

OT: I doubt they'll go bankrupt this soon (Well... the thing above me is kind of frightening), and I expect 30 Million or so over the next two years. That's with really rough predicting though.

Nope, it won't come close to the PS2, for the following reasons...

1: The PS2 didn't have much competition
2: The PS2 had a year and a half lead on the competition.
3: It was a heckuva lot cheaper than the PS4 ($299 dropped to $199 not too long after the GC launched).
4: The home console market in Japan isn't as strong as it was during the PS1/2 days.
5: PS2 had a virtual monopoly on 3rd party franchises and exclusives... no longer the case.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

Yes, Macroaxis is a popular investment tool.  However Sony is going to do everything in their power for this not to happen, so my guess is they will be around in 2 years thankfully.  Good news is their gaming division is doing much better than what it was doing early on with the PS3.  Bad news is, theyre still forecasting a 1.1b loss thanks to their other divisions, which will be putting them even further into debt along with their credit rating being classified as "Junk".  Their gaming division i dont believe can keep a company as big as Sony alive on its own so sony will need their other divisions to do much better.  Though i cant say which divisions are doing good and which ones are doing bad as i realyl only care about their gaming division.  I just know their TV division is horrible thanks to their over-priced products.  We will need to see how they restructured their TV division to see if it makes an impact.
