Sony will survive they did make some major blunders this round and this econic downturn could not come at a worse time for them.



PS3, WII and 360 all great systems depends on what type of console player you are.

Currently playing Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, Fallout 3, Halo ODST and Dragon Age Origins is next game

In fanboy lala land. Sony is doing GREAT, but in the real world of finance and business...sony is in deep sh!t.

There's my cue!

Sony didn't destroying Nintendo isn't really relevant. The problem lies in the fact that the PS3 is (or was, at least) destroying Sony. The N64 or Gamecube didn't do this to Nintendo. If Sony cannot make a profit on their games division, they aren't going to stay in the industry. I think they're doing fine now, but another PS3-like disaster would end it. On the other hand, Nintendo would stay even if they could only manage Gamecube-like sales.

I'd also like to add, sony uses Loss Leader strategy, where it loses on hardware to gain market share where Nintendo uses a more sustainable market setup. The Gamecube still earned profit for Nintendo. Their strategy is sustainable especially in a world economy where everything is up in the air and left to question, loss leading is a horrible strategy.
