[QUOTE="HaRmLeSS_RaGe"]

They are in a bit of a mess. It's the main reason I won't be getting a PS4 until a few years down the line. The last thing I want is a system with discontinued support due to company closure. :?

You wont be getting a PS4, but we all know for very different reasons ;)

 

Nope I will be getting a PS4 just after nextbox and Wii U, and only if it has been proven a success a few years down the line.

[QUOTE="CanYouDiglt"]I admit I do not run a huge successful company but to fair Sony does not run one either but my imo Sony desperately needs the PS4 to catch on like a wild fire and fast. The cost of a console launch is huge and Sony is in pretty bad shape so they may not be able to weather the storm very well.Tessellation

Not a factor, Sony is a huge company and can sell assets. Sony is no Sega, stop the damage control.

They just had to sell their headquarters just to make ends meet.

 

They are a junk bond status company.

 

I really hope they just drop the Vita and don't take big losses on the PS4. This is make it and break time for our dear Sony.

So let me get this straight:

 

You really can't bash the ps3 due to the ps3 looking very great this year around, compared to the competition. You can't really "successfully" bash the ps4 due to the positive critical responses it received after the conference on the 20th of this month. So we now have to result to bashing Sony, and their financial status? Do remember , child, that the ps4 wasn't suppose to be a power house  due to the "supposedly" limited funds that Sony gaming division have.;)

[QUOTE="drakekratos"]Sony is making a big comeback with Kaz Hirai at the helm. They seem to be doing everything right, and their products are still top notch. robotapple

 

Actually they are not making a big comeback at all... that is why shares continue to drop. Kaz is failing to turn the ship around. They're still losing money hand over fist.

Turning a billion dollar company around can't happen overnight. They're been losing money for over 5 years now possibly longer, it'll take a long time before Kaz's restructuring is at a point where they are in profit.

so you guys are taking cheap-shots now...lets pretend that MS hasn't lost more than half it's market cap since 2000 or that Windows Phone isn't an epic fail and Windows 8 isn't doing worst than Vista. This is system wars not business wars.

Why? I'm telling the truth.

Ya Sony's in real big trouble. They just announced a great PS4 system that will sell like crazy & their PS3 is outselling the Wii, Wii U, & 360. :roll:

They are making all the right moves now, so you can stop with making these threads.

Yes Sony is in a bad spot right now, which is why I am so happy they have been making so many right decisions with the PS4. Really the only thing they said so far that sucks is that my PSN games won't transfer over, which in turn has stopped me from buying anymore games off PSN.

how about we make that judgement after the ps4 has been out for about 1 year. its hard to correct everything that they did wrong. im still surprised they have a mobile/ camera division. i agree they have been bleeding, but sony is not just a gaming division you know (though i think they should stop competing in cameras/phones and concentrate those resources on gaming or their music/movie ventures)

Let's all just have a moment of truth here.

 

The reason why Lemmings insist on bringing stuff like this up is that, when it comes to games, they just don't have any ammunition.  Face it, TC, you are PRAYING that Sony falls into some pit of nothingness and disappears.  You're like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz just tapping your heels together and telling yourself that there's no place like home.

 

Because, frankly, that's all that is going to save you from the onslaught.  I don't know much about this board specifically, but a lot of boards have been sprinkled over the years with "Sony's impending demise" and you know what happens?  The games just keep coming.  That's what.  Good day, sir.

As a huge playstation gamer. I am actually slightly worried about Sony. I mean, the Vita seems to be a flop saleswise. But with the PS4, if they don't hit it out of the park, then it may be their last hurrah

Actually, their Film Divison did insanely well last year. Amazing Spider-man and Men in Black 2 performed well. Skyfall FAR exceeded expectations. Their Animated films are taking off. And The Smurfs (yeah, i know it sucks) has turned out to be a surprisingly big money maker.

Very unlikely that Sony will disappear as a company, they have $180 billion worth of assets and several profitable divisions. There is room for dramatic restructuring, selling of assets and downsizing before it would get to the point of ceasing to trade altogether. It's not beyond the realms of possibility that they will wind down or sell off their gaming division though, hopefully they bounce back with the PS4, competition is ultimately a good thing for gamers.
