first off this is not a bashing thread or a hate thread and please dont let this turn into a fan war with people complaining or ridiculing other people about there favorite brand and also let me say i DO NOT want sony to fail this is just a look into whether or not you think they will make it past the next gen.
with nintendo being the top dog in gaming at the moment in terms of consoles and handhelds with microsoft close behind it seems as though sony has been struggling to keep up in sales. as we know later this year the wiiu will be out and while the wii had a somewhat lackluster display of games outside of first party titles no one can dispute that it has sold the most this gen. the wiiu seems to be fixing everything that was wrong with the wii by being around twice as strong as the xbox and ps3 and having strong 3rd party support and while maybe being slightly behind once the xbox 720 comes out a year or 2 later the difference in power is likely to be the same as the ps3 and xbox difference as in slightly more powerful but not as big of a difference to where games cant be made for both and also will have a year or 2 head start and the 3ds while having a rocky start and not many good launch titles is now the fastest selling nintendo handheld so far i believe and is now selling very well with tons of new games coming out this year and next and will sell at profit starting this holiday season now that hardware costs to build it has gone down. the xbox 720 looks like its near as well with it probably being mentioned at this e3 with it coming out either 2013 or early 2014 and will be a big competition to nintendo . but in sonys case the ps3 had a rocky start and has continued to bleed money for quite awhile and sony is only just now starting to make real profits off it and the vita has completely failed and is selling worse then the psp i think the vita might be the last sony handheld and i think it will be a long time before we see any kind of ps4 and i think when we do unless sony can turn it around it might be there last console as well and i think this is sad because sony has a long history in the gaming world and even though im not the biggest fan of sony i think it would be horrible to see one of the big 3 go under and less competition also means alot of the time that game quality goes down, competition helps companies strive to be the best the less there is the less they have to fight for your choice in game.
but sadly i think this may be the last round for sony i think after the ps4 we will be in a generation where nintendo and microsoft are the 2 main companies and with nintendo completely owning the handheld market unless microsoft decides to step in. what do you think? also please let me repeat do not turn this into a fan war please no comments like "nintendo sucks or microsoft sucks or sony sucks" this isnt about whos better or who you like more so please no immature bashing true gamers play games nomatter what console there on and all that matters is good games not whos name is on the box.
