Again, no one but the rabid fanboys ever claims the PS3 will die |
The validity of that statement (the whole sentence, not just the "PS3 will die" part) depends on the definition of dying. I'd say it will either die or be in a long coma, supported by Sony's pockets. Some other people say so too, and I don't think they're all rabid fanboys. |
It's pretty hard to believe it will ever actually die. It's following the gamecube and N64 sales tracks pretty clearly. Neither of them died, so I doubt the PS3 will. |
I know this has been stated many times, but the situation is different than it was for the N64 or gamecube. Nintendo is strictly a gaming hardware/software producer. They live and die on the profits they make in this market. Sony has many different departments. Nintendo still made profit on the N64 and Gamecube, Sony is not. If PS3 sells gamecube levels over a similar time frame (5+ years, whatever the gamecube lived for) than Sony has NOT succeeded with the ps3 because they would have either lost money or made a very small margin.
However, I do not believe the PS3 will die, but I think it is possible, especially with that new overall Sony exec guy laying about with his axe to reduce unprofitable business.
