I only see this as being true because of the PS2 :)

It's not like no one saw it coming or anything. I think MGS came out too late to save Sony, and they need a couple more games under their belt.

Ofcourse Sony will fall. There is no doubt about it. If anything, the top company who is in the lead is Nintendo with the Wii.

Oh man, a rumor must be true, fuck doing research to confirm its authenticity.

Also, what's with all the "Sony's going to fail" bullshit? Christ, you guys are acting as if Sony's only in the gaming market. Last time I heard from gamespot, their HDTVs were selling like hotcakes.

Is this just the money they lost from selling PS3 consoles, or does it include the money they got from selling software?

In any case, the loss is going down, and the current generation isn't going to end any time soon. Sony is going to pick itself up.

Just from the gaming division due to selling the PS3 at a lower price than the production cost.

But it annoys me how people in this godforsaken thread believe Sony will crumble like Sega without considering its other Electronics divisions.

Thank the Lord I'm not the only one who thought about this.

If Nintendo failed to push their gaming hardware, they'd be fucked six ways till sunday. Microsoft would probably stagger a bit as well.

But let's not forget that Sony sell:
HDTVs
Blu Ray players
Headphones
MP3 Players
CD Players
Phones

Yes, because a guy who owns both a PS3 and 360 is a Sony fanboy.

Surely it's possible for somebody to own a system and hate it?

DirtySyko mentions owning a 360 since the day it came out, so he probably hates it a lot according to you.

Mario can't keep a moderately large lizard from capturing his girlfriend for 2 seconds because he's usually playing golf or teaching retards to type.

It's perfectly possible to be a 360/PS3 fanboy. Therefore it's still irony.

Actually I checked out FF XIII if what I read is true then the new FF will be for the PS3 and the 360. This was according to Sqare/Enix since they mentioned not playing favorites. MGS 4 will have to do for now, but I'm sure they have something else up their sleeve.

That should sell very well considering FF's enormous fanbase, but the revenues from it alone will probably barely put a dent in that $3 billion deficit. Sony need more to pick up the pace in terms of their video game industry.

Microsoft dominate the PC market with 90% of all PCs running on Windows.

Then they've got stuff like MS Office.

Microsoft are in no danger of liquidation, to any extent.

This could mean no PS4 but that is still not likly, but Sony will not invest time and effort into a failing system if this goes on.

Either way that's the cycle of profits/expeacs.

I heard something about that to a while back... that Square was thinking whether or not to make the game exclusive to PS3.

Interesting. I remember a while back Sony bought a large chunk of Square Enix. But Square stated that even though they bought a big margin it didn't mean that were going to stop making FF games for other consoles. In fact, I think it was a waste of money for Sony because Square Enix seems to be favoring Nintendo! Just look at all the GBA remakes. Also the remakes for the DS (FFIII and FFIV. Also I'm pretty sure V and VI will follow... hopefully).

Well I shouldn't be surprised by that, however that means they decided to go back on their "no favoritism" speech, not even 5 months ago. Oh well live and learn ;-) Thanks for the update by the way I guess I should have kept a better eye on FF 13's console developments. I hope that their still going to have DQ 9 on the DS.
