You're wrong on both assumptions.

So it is happening...PS4 preorder.

Greatness Awaits!

Slow down that hype train folks. I don't think any of the consoles are going to reach the kinds of heights of last gen. And I don't think PS4 will come anywhere close to PS1/2 levels either.

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.

Keep in mind that PS2 stayed on the market long past it's experation date (so to speak), due to PS3 selling so sluggishly for it's first couple years.

-Wii U is $299, has graphics that are weaker then the PS4/Xbox One but you get an Ipad Mini with it.
-PS4 is $399 and Xbox One is $499.

Get real, the pad is way mediocre its something that you would find on a 50 product for a child in toys r us, ipad mini lol in your dreams.

i think it's too soon to have such a statement. It depend on the support of Sony and the other third party

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!

And around $14b in debt

With over 160 billion in business assets.

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

19bn cash?

I think its best to look at the balance sheet in these circumstances rather thn a snapshot of selective data:

So, from the BALANCE SHEET

Cash, cash equivalents and short term investments:

March 2011: $19.99bn

March 2012: $19.14bn

March 2013: $16.17bn (huge drop)

Almost $4bn burned through in 2 years.

Net tangible assets: (true measure after taking into account assets, liabilities and stockholder equity)

March 2011: $20.3bn

March 2012: $11.5bn

March 2013: $10.9bn

Net tangible assets have halved in 2 years, dropped by $20bn

There are real reasons for downgrades and the share price collapse. Despit popular opinio here, it isn't some nasty conspiracy.

Ah well, at least they're not looking to sell off their Playstation brand, so they must be doing something right

Not impossible for it to beat the PS2, but hard to do as of now. Still if any console is going to, it will be this one.

Can you give a measure of how the stock has collapsed? In the last year, last few months or so?

And the 3DS could become the best selling handheld of all time.

I highly doubt it'll sell anywhere close to PS2 levels... It'd be a stretch for me to even consider PS1 levels at this point.

Current gaming platforms - Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Wii U, New 3DS, PC
