I am a Playstation follower since PS2. I've never been that disapointed by any of their piece of hardware. I own a PS4 and a PS Vita actually. 

I wonder now if the Playstation Brand could not be too big for Sony to handle. Sony is not that a healthy company at the moment we speak. You just need to look at their stock charts to see that they don't have that many rooms to move : http://ycharts.com/companies/SNE. Don't get me wrong, Sony is still a big corporation and quite a strong name. Their entreprise value is something like 30 billions dollars. In terms of pure value and numbers Sony butchers Nintendo by a FAIR lenght. They have something like 150 000 employees and the japanese governement would not think twice in order to help Sony. But even if Sony is far from being in bankroute state, Sony is not Samsung, Apple, Google - or to a lesser extent - Microsoft either. 

Money is the problem.

- They struggled hard to deliver Playstation 4 worldwide and, as a matter of fact, it's still difficult to find a Playstation 4 at the moment we speak. It's quite important since without this problem, Sony would have take a bigger advantage by now. 

- Sony lacks money so they quite struggle to release that many news ip because of the risk of loosing money. Earlier in this week a Santa Monica's developper spoke of the problem regarding a new ip being canceled by Sony. 100 millions is a minor detail for Samsung or Google, but it's a huge amount for Sony at the moment we speak. 

Playstation brand is the most important name regarding video games, it's a fucking solid brand name. But a lot of things make me think that the name's too big for Sony now. If they had enough money they could do things with much ease regarding the playstation brand. Problem is, they don't have that much money for the gaming departement. Playstation under Samsung would kill everything in my opinion. We would have a lot of quick new games, lot of ports, lot of update, more freedom regarding hardware ect...  

you could say in a way but tats what happens to successfull companies after a while as they get bloated with too many product and areas

Not just playstation,sony is just way too big

movies

music

television shows

tv hardware

cameras

phones

tablets

music device

media - cd,dvd,blu-ray

gaming consoles and handhelds

medical

network - sony unlimited,psn

at first when a company has cash after being successfull,it starts launching new products and buys other companies but after around 20years of success,it begins its decline.this can be reinvigorated but not at the same pace

Microsoft,google,samsung is also similar at the moment

Apple is a relatively recent succesful company

Regarding this point, Im not quite sure youre being serious.

The SSM game was said to be going through a lot of trouble because it was looking so very similar to Destiny. There were too many similarities and things kept changing, it became unstable and the project was canned. But really, new IP? Youre complaining about Sony's efforts with new IP?

I think its arguable that Sony are putting out new IP more than any other developer, its just that not every new IP project will be a success.

Ummm... No? Playstation is one of the few brands in Sony thats actually successful and is making money... In terms of keeping demand, Pachter said on one of his videos that both MS and Sony have about the same production output and MS is way bigger than Sony so no

Also its not just a Playstation or Sony problem

Gaming as an industry,atleast in the big boom that it experienced from PS1 days to HD & Wii days is beginning to decline

Sony has invested big time last generation in alot of IPs,they cannot do anything else

Since the Video Game crash in 1980's,gaming and technology was improving



Now almost everything has sort of been perfected,no matter how much money you put at it,you will not be able to push it further.

Samsung,Microsoft and Apple all have big money stockpiles but they are finding it difficult to use the money cause the money doesn't bring back any more productivity

How the hell can a brand be to big for a company.
And seriously people, sony is not going to die. Stop with the doomthreads because it's not happening.

EDIT:

Also about the lack of PS4's. Compare it with the launch of an MMO. Everybody logs in at the same time but the servers can't handle it. 

I'm sorry... But if you say apple is a recent succesful company and say google isn't.
I can't take you serious then.

Except all Samsung does is copy and make it like they invented it(like apple) they advertised the galaxy gear like a revolutionary thing.. Despite smart watches being common.. Also the galaxy like a revolutionary thing despite android being common and better on other devices..... I really don't like Samsung.. They have kind of become a disgustingly non innovative company that is in it to eliminate competition and gain extreme market share... The s5, stole the main selling points of the iPhone 5s and xperia z(which is why major phone pros are noticing it.. And how disappointed they are with the s5).. It is disgusting

Obviously, the Diablo-brand was too much for Activision blizzard. They should sell it to Samsung ;)

It's one of their few divisions that is profitable and will be making huge money from the PS4 in a few years. You want an already loss making Sony to make bigger loses?

And Sony releases so many games.
