FF going multiplat?

MGS going multiplat?

maybe Both? What ever your thoughts, the very fact that Sonys fate in the console industry is effectivly in the hands of 2 3rd party publishers, one of whol is already showing love to microsoft must be very worrying to Sony. I hope Konami and Square are using this oppoertunity to squeeze Sony for every penny they can to keep these games exclusive cos if they go multiplat I can honestly see the PS3 being taken out of manufacturing within a year.

Good post, but after that there would be so few PS3 sales (especially with the Sony Standalone Blu-Ray player selling for $599USD) that we really could see an untimely death for the console king. 3rd console curse anyone?

For Sony to fall from grace- 1) Blu-Ray fails 2) Lose MGS, FF, GT & Killzone franchises 3) PSN / Home Fail & LIVE becomes Free & better. 4) Continued arrogance 5) Not dropping price in the next 12 months. Tick all those and it may happen. Unlikely though

Spread a vicious rumor that a Sony exec called Americans "cheap people" while he was referring to the pricing of one of his companies products...... ;)

What it would take for Sony to fail would just be to have them give more talks to the press. Seems everytime a Sony exec speaks to press the dig themselves a much bigger hole

That's a great idea actually. I'm too honorable to do that though. Sony has shot themselves in the foot plenty of times. No need to create lies.

don't hope so. if the ps3 completely dies, sony will start up another machine and pressure ninty and ms to make another one as well. then we'll have to blame sony for making us spend so much money. they found out how to hurt everyone, not just those who bought a ps3.

Don't forget that they have a massively succesful market in consumer electronics, so they aren't going anywhere anytime soon.

Exactly. Watch Casino Royale. There is so much Sony product in there it's sick.

the only way is for some very rich company like P&G to buy out Sony and close them. there is no other way.

I don't see it happening. The PS3 is selling at about the same level as the Xbox360 was in its lifecycle. We didn't hear any doomsday prophecies for the Xbox360 then and as such, I don't feel the PS3 is in any trouble at all.
