That is such pure, unsubstantiated bull-crap! All it's meant to do is get Sony's fanboys in a hissy fit and buy more of their paraphernalia. "Please buy our stuff, we're going broke." Bah!
OK. I'm usually as broke as hell (won't be employed until January 2007), and Sony's welfare is the last thing on my mind. I mean their hardware already costs an arm, leg and bruised left testicle. It's reverse psychology man (or a fanboy trying to garner pathos for a company who didn't take their more financially challenged consumers into consideration). ...

Of course Sony aren't going broke.... But if they're not making decent profits with a product, they'll drop it. SO it may very well be their last console.... But I highly doubt it. As I'm pretty sure it'll be successful.

It's funny because neither the PS1 or PS2 were at the peak of technology. I owned an N64 during the time of the PS1 and I own a Gamecube and Xbox. The PS1 is inferior (technologically) to the N64 and the PS2 inferior to both the Gamecube and Xbox. (technological)
Retail stores sold out of $600 videogame system. On the release day.
If that is not a sign for success, I don't know what is.
For some reason I think Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo are here to stay.
Reasons:
1. Sony and microsft- 2 of the biggest corporations in the world, Multilple multi billion dollar corporations that have there hand in everything.
2. Nintendo- Extremely loyal following, in a class of its own. Plus they are in conjuction with Apple who is another major Corporation in the world to fund their ass.
3. People are sick of losing there their beloved whatever and pay any price to get it. Examples: why we have backwards compatibility, and Sega fans as example to all gamers what happens when your fave consol company goes bust.
4. Video games arn't for kids anymore, They set the tone for interactive technology, and again there developers (Sony & microsoft) have multiple assets to gain their tech from so its hard to see any of them going out of buisness. Meaning they sell more than systems to fund their company.

I have to agree although remember the Dreamcast sold well during it's release. Early sales do not indicate that much but Sony also has a loyal fan base that will purchase the PS3 so I don't imagine it failing.
lol @ true sign of success, they ahd like 15 systems shipped to each store. if thats not a true sign of not shipping enough consoles i dont know what is.

I find somethings real...
People who only buy Nintendo products are mostly Christians while people who are Sony Fanboys are either Japanophillian or atheists.
Yeah but the dreamcast had no games. Then the PS2 came out a year later. Then Sega was like *sigh* Fvck it!
PS3 will have
metal gear solid
Final fantasy
Gran turismo
Socom
Grand theft auto
Killzone
Syphon Filter
The jak and daxter and crash bandicoot, and the ratchet and clanks and all that stuff.
It has gotten to the point in the gaming world that:
1. People flat out know what they like now
2. Nobody cares about some upstart company wanting to get the game buisness, because fanboyism and corporate loyality has achieved mass proporations and people will refuse to accept them in fear of losing their beloved consol company.
Thats why Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony arn't going anywhere.
There I said it, who disagrees
