Holy crapola, is this a reputable source?

 


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.

I don't think the Japan government would let a company as big as Sony go bankrupt. That would lose 100k+ jobs. Besides, Sony has a lot of assets they can sell off. They already got rid of the PC line, now it's time to get rid of the TV division. 



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

Im not going to speak as if i know much about the japanese government or what they would do but yes i do believe it is time to get rid of their TV division.  I guess we can see if the restructured TV division will make an impact or not.




       

No piracy = PS2 unbeatable.
Let's face it, PS2 being extremely easy to hack boosted it's success. PS4 will sell really nice, but I don't think there will be almost 160.000.000 units sold by the end of it's life, probably not even for a long shot.



It's now at 49%? So that's a 20% change it seems. I wouldn't read too much into it. The website does state that over 90% indicates a "good" chance of bankruptcy...

For interest, Nintendo has a greater chance of bankruptcy (75%) according to their website:

I don't think they'll top the PS2 unless they're able to pull in the casual crowd. I'm not sure if they have anything planned which can accomplish that.

That's just silly.

 

No way is Nintendo going bankrupt anytime soon.



Playstation will live on, its a powerful brand someone will jump at the chance to buy it.



No it will become the second best selling which is still fantastic!

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


Nope. US. http://www.forbes.com/companies/sony/

 

I don't think 19 billion in yen is that much anyway.

And around $14b in debt


With over 160 billion in business assets. 

Like I said, Sony going out of business? Not going to happen.
