Forums - Sony - CNN Money-The PS3 is a Sinking Ship

The CNN article is spot on in all 3 points really.

It's increasingly my view that Sony should discontinue the PS3 and refocus this gen on the PSP (only because the handheld is at least half way successful and probably profitable per hardware unit sold too).

Then they can buy themselves time to learn lessons from the PS3 disaster, stop the massive losses in the console business and if they are so inclined, launch a PS4 that actually has a chance at being profitable and successful in the same way as the PS2 was.

I doubt Sony will discontinue a system that has already sold nearly 18 million units. Also, stop calling PS3 a disaster. It's not a disaster. It's a system you dislike. That doesn't make it a disaster, failure, mistake or anything else you might negatively claim. I dislike Wii, and I think it fails to interest me alot, but I don't ever call it crap.

If the retards MS are running CNN, then who's running Sony?

Your assertion that MS is running CNN is ridiculous. Have you not noticed that MS already runs a cable news network, MSNBC?

 

Maybe it's Nintendo running CNN.

Didn't we do this song and dance at the end of last year also, only to see the PS3 recover nicely early this year. I see the same thing happening in early 2009. A price cut, some good games, continued BR momentum and it will be fine.

Sorry stickball, you wishing the PS3 dead won't make it so.

This guy loses all credibility with his point #2 BTW. Blu-ray players and movies have been the hottest electronics items this christmas.

Wow everyone thinks the PS3 is done. Just because it is in 3rd place dosnt mean its a failure. It has a fairly decent fanbase and there are enough consoles that the games library will continue to grow. 3rd place does not mean RIP PS3 2006-2009.



Long Live SHIO!

I can't save this sinking ship. How long before we start hearing about game cancellations?



Heavens to Murgatoids.
