For something like this to happen, Sony really, really, really, REALLY needs to be in a bad shape. I mean, falling into 4th place (which is impossible), HW and SW sales having plummeted for months, yosp and Andrew House wouldn't give a damn and bail out of the company, lie to the fans continuously, and losing support from the fans. Does it remember you of another company?

I would be dissappointed, since it has been a longtime company that have given me so much enjoyment. But it would wear out fast due to what I've written above.

Would I ever play on their gaming console? Probably. Probably not. I'd probably pick the new console up to see if it's as good as people would swear about, or go full blown PC, which is highly unlikely but still a possibility.

This is the sort of post I had in mind seeing when I created this thread.

My first reaction: I move to Canada.

As a new, probably illegal immigrant there, I doubt I'd be able to afford much time to gaming because it'll be 'survival' in real time.

Plan B: get yourself in trouble and land in jail. :P

I'd sever my penis straight down in half and contemplate what to do with the result my life. Then cry for 3 days straight and realizing it was porn that I really loved the most in life. Afterwards get mad at myself for severing my penis.

Good for you I made this thread that drove you through the process before you made a mistake you'd later regret. You're welcome.

I'd finish my coffee, kiss my family, get into my car, and then the car would explode.

I've seen a movie like that but can't remember what film. lol

Nothing would change for me. But in this hypothetical situation, I would hope MS would keep the PS name because it's a way stronger brand than Xbox is.

That makes sense.

Lol. what kind of answer do you expect?

I expected anything. So far there have been genitali mutilation and car bombings and all.

I would laugh because its not possible. Japan has laws in place protecting certain major corporations from international buyouts last I read. Then I would probably quit gaming, or go pc gaming.

Really? That's interesting. I want to read more about that.



Nintendo is selling their IPs to Microsoft and this is true because:

Rejoice.
Now PlayStation might actually have a decent OS and decent user interface.

 


?

The one on the PS4 is just fine. minus the missing folders.

Not from my experince with it. The OS is stable enough, that's not what I mean. I mean it's not very well laid out or user friendly. Someone new to it will have a hard time getting used to it unless they have prior experience with it or PS prior OS. Too many menus within menus and sacrifices simplicity. The PS store is also cluttered and again has menu with menu, plus the search function, which does get the job done, is combersome.

Mind you the PS4 is a huge jump in the right direction from the PS3.





Gotta figure out how to set these up lol.
