Hang in there Sony, it makes the PS4 leading teh console warz all the more delicious,

It is kind of inspirational that Xbox is getting lapped by PlayStation when his mother is undergoing chemotherapy.

Its also sad.

and hilarious.

Especially the comments about those hoping to win so badly that they wish for the collapse of Sony because they've lost hope in Halo and Price Cut, and TitanFall wasn't enuff.

 

But hey, dats what Console Warz are all about, salty tears.

Don't be too hard on msbots,they desperately want what they can't mention "teh first console warz win"

xbox failed,360 failed,One lagging in third place

nintendo need to pull a gamecube or WiiU & Sony need to go bankrupt in a console gen for Xbox to truly mature and stand alongside the japanese console giants

At this point they'd almost be better off taking the Playstation brand solo and leaving the rest of the company to rot and die. So many gangrenous divisions...

If it wasn't for Playstation, Sony would be heading for the exit, man they are just clinging on

Could you stop using these mid-90's "professional" filters on your avatars please.

It is fucking with all such as depth perception.

Technically, they have plenty of solid to good/great divisions.  It's mainly a couple VERY cancerous ones that are causing the losses.  One (PC) they are already getting rid of, so after this FY there will be no more losses coming from it.  The TV division they are spinning off (not sure if future reports will still be in the main Sony one, or in its own).  Personally, I think they should just get rid of that one, too.  Their phone used to be crap, too, but they have been able to turn that around recently.  Same goes for the PS division.

The Playstation division will likely be separated from the rest of Sony. One of the two parts will be sold. Also a joint-venture company with Nintendo comes more and more likely in my opinion.


I strongly disagree ...Nintendo does not need Sony ....Sony needs Nintendo more than Nintendo needs them...Nintendo has zero debt and. 10 billion in cash and billions in assets ...that's a dream if you think these two companies will ever merge

While Sony thinks TV division is just a small blister but in reality it has turned into gangrene. They need to get rid off loss making divisions. A healthy small company is always better than a large corporation that might go bankrupt.


Well I guess they think they will make money off it eventually and its not like they can sell off that division to some other company and I guess they have to much money invested in it to just drop it all of the sudden.

The end game isn't bankruptcy

Its a much much smaller and insignificant Sony in consumer electronics... perhaps only Playstation left.

Sony wont be involved in electronics too much eventually.




I wouldn't mind that. Concentrate on the things you can compete in and do those well.

so life insurances and Playstation then. There is not much else going for Sony right now.



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

Movies and Music as well I'd say.
