Sony CEO : Its all gone tits up. I shall ask the mighty CELL for help.

CELL : I have the answer.

Sony CEO : Yes

CELL : Your not going to like it

Sony CEO : Tell me

CELL : Your really not going to like it.

Sony CEO : For Gods sake tell me !

CELL : Cut 8000 jobs and discontinue the PS3 immediately.

Sony CEO : Now thats what I call cold logic.

 Quite possibly the coolest reply I have ever seen.

And the PS3 isn't failing, but it is coming in third right now, and I don't think Sony is too happy about that.

How do you know they didn't lay off all of these people SO they could cut the price of the PS3 and buy exclusives?

SCE president: Hey, do you remember those billions you just saved by cutting 16,000 jobs? How about you give them to us so that we can bleed them out by doing yet another price cut and buying some exclusives?

Sony CEO: Sounds good to me!

....

When will people realize that Sony's other businesses are not sacrificial lambs for the mighty gaming division?

   If there is one or two 3rd party publishers Sony could secure exclusive deals with - which one should it be?

Brash and Midway.

Never unless like... they're one of the people who work for Sony who gets laid off....

not even most companies are willing to lay off people to cut prices on a product.

I love the way the article uses company's who have obviously sided this gen with MS as examples. Square Enix and Capcom are well and truely MS supporters now. Why? Because they are not stupid enough to lock themselves out of potentially 25m customers. This is the thing this article doesn't quite grasp, the PS3 is 3rd, it does not have the bargaining power that the PS2 and PS1 had. Those 2 consoles could demand games to be exclusive. This is the gen of multi-platform and no company will risk financial suicide by going exclusive just to help out a console. Look at Resistance 2 sales. A game that supposedly cost £50m to make. It has had pretty dire sales and doesn't looklike it will break even. If it was multi-platform it would of made profit. And that is how it is. Games cost so much to make that by going exclusive could potentially finish off your company, especially by supporting the one with the least sales. Stupid article.

@Kantor: Well, I'm glad it was a joke, though not a very funny one ;)

However, I wouldn't be surprised if some people actually believed that, so my point still stands :P.

i think it all comes down to money, sony does not have the money to help the ps3 thats it. I bet they have great ideas, i bet they want to make a price cut, buy exclusive, advertise a lot, but they have no money, so the only thing that can save sony is money( maybe warren buffett).

Funny how IGN's Playstation team is clamoring that 3rd party publishers have to "save" the PS3. Shouldn't that be Sony's job!? And I find it funny how they even mentioned Capcom - practically all their HD content has been multiplatform.
