if sony goes, i definately wont miss them

this is a company that had no idea why they were successful with the playstation1, they actually actually thought all this time people bought their console because of the name, who do they think they're kidding?, the only reason why playstation took off was because there was no competition at the time, and n64 had expensive development costs with the cartridge system, so developers freely through cheap cdrom games on the playstation and so it got all these games, playstation was never innovative, it never brought any superior hardware power, and was ALWAYS an expensive console

 now the rude awakening, sony actually thought YOU were going to go spend $600 on their system because of the name, now they are suffering, i say good riddance, now xbox is getting all the games, low manufacture cost and ease of development. if xbox dies i will miss them cause i will miss that xboxlive service, theres just nothing else like it, not even on pc, (broadband only gaming, everyone has voice chat, unified friends list, etc)

 i'd rather playstation just turn the lights off, and let sega get back in the industry

Yeah, neither would I.

They only brought gaming to the masses with both the PS1 and PS2. The videogame industry would be nowhere near as big as it is today without them.

And one more thing: PS3 is here to stay, as is Sony.

They might be here to stay, but as long as they do they are here to lose money too. Question is, how long till they realized they've thrown enough money down the drain already?

 And the industry wouldn't be anywhere without SONY ...
    whom  had the first console to sell over 100 million units ?
    whom had the 2nd console to sell over 100 million units ?
    who apart from SONY has a console that has ever sold over 70 million unitd ?

    who's sucess in the industry made Microsoft believe it was possible to enter ?
    whom replaced the dying SEGA to prevent Nintendo from having a monopoly and possible a another industry collapase ...

You seriously think sony lost money by making the PS1 and PS2... come on.... No company can last a decade by constantly being in the minus.

Think of gaming now without Nintendo. Or MS. It's bad either way. Having all three around is a very good thing and I hope it lasts for a very long time. Sony haters just need a slap in the face with reality.

Somehow I knew you didn't have a link. Gaming was doing fine without Sony and if they left it would still do fine.

I would rather have cartridge's  over the easy to scratch, long loading time cd's anyday.

And yet there are cartrige games that have load times. Let alone XBLA games. Played Pac Man CE lately?

In the news, this:

Big time layoffs at Sony. I wonder if they can actually see what's going on around them? I doubt it.

And just when I thought this thread could get more fanboysm and ignorance.

More games for the other consoles ;)themyth01

You mean as if MS and Nintendo were to pull out of gaming too, right?

There aren't many first party games I'd miss from Sony, but competition is good. If Sony dropped off then Nintendo and Microsoft could price gouge much more often.

Obviously it wouldn't lead to the death of gaming, even if it killed the console market (PC gaming survived and thrived through the 1980s crash), but it'd kill the rather good equilibrium we've got going at the moment.

Sony just needs to be humbled after their success with the PS1 and PS2, not knocked out.
