The End of Sony?

[MajorDolphin]

So, with this whole mess coming to light over the last little bit, how does everyone think Sony will, if at all, recover from this? are we looking at the end of Sony, or, at least the Playstation aspect of it?

And if this is the end of Playstation, what do you all think is in the future for console gaming and production?

Sony still have their fancy electronics. I should know with my Sony 40 inch HDD TV right across me.

Sony can recover, but the PS3 and the PSN? It's just reasonable to give up on them right now. They have been hit so fucking hard.

Scrap it. The PS3 is dead, and PSN have proven to be the worst service up to date.
(I'm saying this because when you are responsible for 70 million accounts, you just don't fuck up. Especially not all of it.)

Scrapping the PS3 and PSN right now would tarnish their name in all markets. Consumer confidence in their 40 inch HDD tvs would drop instantly. Why would anyone want to buy their expensive products if they fail to support them? The majority of PS3 owners would never buy a Sony item again if they scrapped the PS3.

after the new blog post i have a feeling all you doom sayers and what ever are oh so wrong

 

[MajorDolphin]

Yeah, the major doomsayers are definitely wrong but this will have some type of long lasting impact.

now some stories of stolen credit cards and fraudulent purchases are starting to surface, i wonder how that will affect everything.

They'll recover. It's Sony. Allthough I have changed my bank details and will definately stick to using PSN cards in the future instead

[HEADING=1]APPLE[/HEADING]

oh god, thats a scary thought.

How would that be scary? Knowing Apple they would make it the ultimate system! 1080p, Full iTunes support, Surround capable, Blu-ray.[sub]Thinking of this is making me excited[sub] and slightly aroused...[/sub][/sub] And no Shitty motion controls. They know better.

We all know the PC is the best. ever. No console can match the computer.

I beg to differ

And why would that be?

Just becase a PC has some good games its mainly a indi market, but games on Consoles do run smoother without needing a update, defrag or other matince for the player to do. PC games are great but yet the only thing that iv seen(for right now im geting a new laptop monday) was Crysis but that was more of a trile by fire if the PC didnt melt its insides

No, the market has never been better. Consoles rely on the AAA market, but the PC varies greatly. Steam itself only multiplied the success and variety tenfold.

Yeah but thats the thing the games you hear of are AAA titles on Pc too the others are indey games or some B game a company sliped out secretly

Yet AAA games are dying. It wont be long before its completely unsustainable.

The main reason AA games are dieing is because gameing companys like Actovion is keeping its in the safe boundreys of puting alot of money into the same game they made 10 times with updated grafics and bla bla bla atlest bunjie told there story stoped and is now starting something new and epic is doing the same with people can fly with the game bullet storm and there own game Gears is finley finishing up with the 3rd game.

No, they are dying because they are:

Too expensive to make and will be next to impossible to finance next gen
Too much of a risk.
AAA games rely on stealing sales from other AAA games.
The console market is not growing to compensate for rise of AAA games.
only the top 10 developers make any money on AAA games.

Yeah there are some B games comeing out its just everyone hates them like section 8 that game was picked up by another company and became a downloadable A game
