Forums - Gaming - Should Sony leave hardware biz and become only publisher?

Sony is the last company I want to see leave the hardware side of things. If anything M$ would be the one to do that. There hardware is crap. Sony needs to continue to push the hardware specs higher and Nintendo needs to start making games for Sony hardware. It would be the best of both worlds.

 

Clear bias when last gen the Xbox technology-wise was superior the PS2 in every way possible. The 360 was pushed. This is such a deep rooted fanboyism that it sickens me.

Not at this point in time. If the ps4 absolutely flops next gen then maybe. But Sony are a hardware company they should do what they do best.

I think he is talking about how the 360 breaks if you look at it wrong lol.



They better not. I know this may sound cheesy and everything but I like Sony's style. They do things their own way (Blu-Ray, Cell etc) and just symbolize Japanese quality craftsmanship. Their hardware to me always looks the most attractive and I've never had a Sony product break on me. So if they did leave the gaming hardware market, i'd be lost. :(

"If anything M$ would be the one to do that. There hardware is crap." Obviously you didn't properly read this part. Their hardware includes the original Xbox. Biased fanboys only percieve what they want instead of looking at the bigger picture.

Hell no. They have sold some 290 million consoles to date. They are too good at making hardware to quit because of one second/third place finish. The PS3 will sell at least 50 million when all is said and done.

Sony does what MS cant pay for



not possible

the Playstation Brand is way to huge n successful now for them to just leave

BUT I feel they will have a HUGE overhaul of their strategy for PS4

I like it how people just suddenly forget we are not talking of some SEGA or ATARI here (who left.....the latter was influential....but SEGA....come on they didn't see much success anyway)....

we are talking about SONY & PLAYSTATION......a brand that has sold almost 300 Million + of hardware.



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

Trust me...Sony would break quicker than Nintendo. Have you tried breaking the Gamecube.

or perhaps last gen doesnt matter? Who says sony still have the best games etc etc. Why forget about the PS2 but not the xbox?
