Forums - Sony - Will sony make it out of this recession?

Yes! Sony is not in a good shape as a company because they are losing billions but Sony is a big company and it will take time for Sony to go bankrupt. Sony is run by competent people that knows how to run a business. Yes they made mistakes but they are not stupid and to answer your question I think they just did.

While its true that their 2 last years wasnt very good, they have a pretty good momentum right now. And the technologies that costed them a lot to develop and sell to consumers is finally selling and should be future proof for a couple of years, so I dont think they are in a really bad position.

They also make sure that their device could be use together (PS3 with PSP with camera with laptop with 3D with PS3 and so on), and also that their device would push sells of proprietary format, that is a pretty good moves from them and maybe the only company that did that, at least at this scale.

Another things is that before being bankcrupt they could probably sustain another 2-3 years at this rate before even having to sell assets. So the title of this tread makes no sense.

P.S.: Smal reflection: selling quality product nowadays is hard because consumers always want to buy the cheapest. So its hard for company like Sony but easy for company like Samsung. American (im one) should change their mentality.



I think we will be seeing more Spider Man movies in the next 3-5 years

Marvel got bought by Disney.



Anyone can guess. It takes no effort to throw out lots of predictions and have some of them be correct. You are not and wiser or better for having your guesses be right. Even a blind man can hit the bullseye.

So Disney will be making the Spider Man sequels then? I thought 4&5 were already confirmed by Sony Pictures in 08 to begin filming in early 2010 and release May 2011

Former something....

Spiderman 4, from Pixar: Spiderman meets the incredibles



 

Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)

I think Sony owns the movie rights for Spiderman, however Sony has already relinquished the TV rights. The problem with only owning the movie rights is that they only make profit from the movie. So while Sony makes the films, it becomes free money for Disney to sell toys or whatever, and Disney will make money from the movies even if Sony creates them.

Spiderman? I thought Disney were way too busy making whores out of young teens who sing plastic pop to make superhero stuff anymore.

I for one like this. 



The Halo francise is the most overrated bland game to ever hit the console market. It provides a bad name to all FPS that even showed effort at creating an original entertaining plot.

I probably have more ps3 games than you :/
