If Sony leaves the industry? I wouldn't be bothered... Its just like im not bothered that a Lion kills a bison in Africa, its just a part of the natural way of things.

If Microsoft or Nintendo left, ditto would apply.

Seriously people love the games not the machine and not the company.

Aren't those topics around just to make light of serious situations?

What

But then we would have nothing to talk about! We would all have to go outside and talk to females in real life!
That's madness!!

THIS IS YOUR BRAIN, AND THIS IS YOUR BRAIN ON MADNESS!

I wont lose sleep over it, i'm not an RPG fan, the only RPG i have tried this gen is mass effect and if i'm honest it has put me off RPG's for life.

Hey, when Sega do eventually release an exclusive game on ps3 that i simply can't miss then i will finally buy my 2nd hand PS3 and pay for it with traded games.

How could you people absolutely want a company to fail. How does it benefit you?

When PlayStation line is discontinued, it will benefit both consumers and the industry. Competition between Nintendo and Microsoft is enough for this market, while three vendors add too much fragmentation. Ninty and M$ produce affordable SKUs and complementing software, while Sony obviously targets CEOs with their "premium-esque" prices though their titles are not so dramatically different.

Sony quits -> their franchises spread between Ninty and M$ -> become accessible to everyone -> good for consumer

Sony quits -> hd-games developers don't have to split development efforts between xbox and ps3 -> good for industry

Sony quits -> more japanese studios look to Wii -> win-win-win

Also, if we won't see those horrible ads from Sony then obviously humanity will be safe LOL

^ I like the cut of your jib.

Thanks, I take that as an insult. There were only few persons who really did thought/answered my question(s) in that thread. Others were something like 'This thread is stupid' , 'You are stupid' etc. Question is did you read the OP in that thread? :)

As for the topic name of thread, if I would have used the bolded sentence, which was in OP there would have been answers like 'no' , 'yes' etc. without even reading the OP. Oh, well... It didn't go well with a 'bit' trollish topic name either.

And for the this threads OP question about monopoly over console markets. Optimal situation would be that MS and Sony would fail. (Well, thats my opinion like it or not. No I don't own wii and probably will never own one.)

people will bag out the system which is losing regards of who they are.

they forget nintendo and playstation are key factors to why gaming is where its at. 8million lead for 360 is great but if there only managing to sell 50k more than ps3 its not amazing considering the price difference . even microsoft doesnt hav endless pits of money.
i myslef own all the current systems and enjoy them all.
i think we should all be happy for both sony and xbox reaching yet another million:)

Dodece "Perhaps Sony has behaved badly enough that they need to leave the industry? Has that thought occurred to you? There is such a thing as getting what you have coming, and the shit Sony pulled this generation should probably come with a high price. "

What the hell have they done that is worse than knowingly releasing very poor hardware that was likely to fail! Its the common thing for MS supporters to call Sony arrogant but how arrogant and self serving is that! They had to beat Sony to the punch and asked you to pay for it. Yes there is a three year warranty on RRoD but none of the other problems. I find people who yell about "the shit Sony pulled this gen" wear blinkers and like to pull the cart for MS. But hey, you are happy with them and i am happy with Sony.
