This is a problem only if you have just one job.

And if anything could happen what do you think would create the biggest meltdown?

Nintendo going third party. Nothing else I can think of even comes close to the butthurtaton that would be.

Sony going out of bussiness??? Or the 10 years of antecipation would ruin it?

Some human beings are undescriable.

VGchartz crashed if I'm not mistaken when FF went multiplatform. So that takes the cake. Hilarious really.

I think it would have to be FF switching from Sony to multiplat on FF XIII

I can't believe Sony said something like that XD

The biggest meltdown ever actually was a benefit to the industry. Atari going ballistic on Nintendo for allowing Coleco to have Donkey Kong on the Adam Computer at the Summer CES in 1983. Atari thought they got full rights to the computer versions of the game only to find out they didn't get the tape rights. There was serious talk of Atari publishing the NES in the U.S. but after this, Atari delayed this. The next month, Ray Kassar was fired and Nintendo decided to eventually market the console themselves.

I'm not going to bother with Internet period stuff. All of it pales in comparison and most of it is overblown hooey.

Wouldn't really be quite as big a deal because Playstation's popularity has always been based mostly on third party games, anyway. The world wouldn't really notice the absence of Uncharted or God of War. With Nintendo it would be like Sega going third party times a bazillion.
