Sony makes PC games too
Bring back Syphonfilter and everything will be OK.
Looks at OP Looks at chart
What the fuck is SNE?
I’ll go full PC (steambox)/Nintendo if Sony dies. Fuck microsoft
When there’s a portable hand held gaming device that you can connect to your TV with a USB port for your pad or stick
hand held gaming will be the future of consoles. I’m waiting for a 3ds that’s as powerful as the current gen consoles.
LOL, I didn’t even know this but Sony also sells insurance:
If their insurance is as good as their other products, than sign me up!
EDIT:
Yes I know it’s primarily in the Asian market.
Nooouuuuu!! Don’t lock it, this is free lol’s for my last few hours of work!
No but serious though, this whole thread and the premise it’s built on is hilarious.
what is it with people begging mods to close threads? lol… the new gen of srk posters are a bunch of pussies.
WHO CARES?
Real.Talk.
Games are what is it, yo.
Everything else is vernacular as best, dross at worst. (PS3 and very late Wii adopter, yo)
Of course Sony can fail. Everything can fail, especially in electronics. There’s a long list of huge companies failing throughout the years that nobody remembers because we will all move onto whatever captures our interest next. That’s just how the world works.
I can safely guarantee at least one of the biggest 50 companies in the world will no longer exist in 10 years. Or if they exist, they will be a mere shell of what they are now.

That lists the biggest companies in the world. I don’t know where Sony is on that, but it’s not in the top 100. Samsung is though. If you could find that list year by year and look into the past few decades you would be surprised. Especially in the tech world, the way tech works it’s still human ingenuity that drives it, and that’s not something that can be carefully controlled and produced on a timeline. It tends to be the province of the struggling underemplyed scientist that drives innovation, not the highly paid R&D researcher answering to an MBA.
I never said a huge company can’t but I think its crazy to accept a automated calc for lazy internet investors as a news worthy article.
So getting the PS4? I am planing to after I do my Taxes.
You couldn’t be more wrong. MS has a net worth of 330 billion my friend, Sony around 28 billion. Both have lost money, but that is expected due to the nature of console production, they sell the hardware at a loss and make up for that loss over time due to software attachment. MS has lost around 3 bill, Sony has suffered major losses for the past 7 years. Here are a bit of numbers of the past 6 of those 7 years in regards to Sony. Nintendo while definitely needing restructuring on the console side, is supported mostly by their handheld sales. Don’t forget that the DS outsold each of the last gen consoles combined.
The facts:
FY 2007: -$1,970,923,859
FY 2008: -$1,079,994,103
FY 2009: -$577,207,240
FY 10Q1: -$413,541,667
FY 10Q2: -$653,333,333
FY 2011: - $5,720,000,000
FY 2012 - $6.400,000,000
Total loss: $16.815,000,202
That took a while to complete. Can’t find much data previous to 07 however those are the last 6 years of losses. With enough time I can narrow down SCEA figures, but I won’t be able to post until tomorrow, getting tired.
Still confused and disappointed that umvc3 wasn’t ever ported to PC who gives a fuck if people hack the game make it balanced or put Batman in it.
Or allow you to play as Evil Guile, Squidward, or Spooderman. Mugen could be considered an extremely broken ass Marvel anyways.
Thread needs direction,

With Sony being such a huge brand name, and having the ability to make profit once again after a restructuring if needed, would anyone not give them a loan ‘per se’ to regroup and make better decisions? Or a rival willing to buy them out or combine forces?
We’re not at the Samsung Video Game console fanboys yet. “Your system is all Tekken and Starcraft!” they will say. :wonder:
If this happens, so much for the Playstation 4 being perfection sent from the heavens like all the YouTube Sony fan boys made it out to be. Some people are willing to bet money that Sony had DRM in mind too, but saw what happened to Microsoft, didn’t implement it, now they are heroes of Sparta. Trololol
What is a internet pirate if they don’t get movies/tv/virtual media without paying for it?(Not a pirate, and not anyone on earth.) What is a robber/someone who recycles if they don’t get non-virtual media without paying for it?(Not stealing or recycling right then, and not anyone on earth, once again.)
What is most “journalism” currently?(They’re disgustingly biased, for those who can’t answer this one themselves.)
What is being rightfully skeptical of sources that, apparently, (almost?) no one on SRK has heard of?(Being properly unsure.)
sony going bankrupt on the basis on how bullshit their experia phones are is something i would believe tbh
What will happen if I write…
Microsoft <3
Sony didnt mind piracy when they sold their VHS recorders…
