| What does all this mean in English? It means that Sony for some reason or another will be selling the manufacturing lines that make the cell chip. However the biggest nugget of information to take away from this post is that Sony is now reducing its spending on the "next generation chip that will succeed the Cell presumably for Playstation 4. With the added competition that Sony now has in Microsoft and Nintendo, the last thing in world Sony would want to do is be technologically behind it competitors on the next hardware cycle unless planning to bow out of the hardware race. Sony may be looking to pull a Sega and go multi-platform software only. Is this the first signs that the Playstation Brand is on its way out? Only time will tell for sure. |

Based on the PS3 failure it wouldn't be surprising if Sony called it quits. The only reason for the PS3's existence was to shove Blu-Ray disc down the throats of the dedicated Playstation user base against their will in a pathetic attempt to have their format chosen as the next movie format. Which is the secondary reason why this Playstation and PS2 owner did not buy a PS3. The primary reason was the lack of games, hence Sony forcing Blu-Ray on the consumer.
Will Sony call it quits? Has Sony performed enough self-ownage?
