PS3: Sony’s Last Console and Xbox 360 Blamed
While many gamers would agree that the next model of Xbox is needed before the Sony PS4, I am sure hardly anyone would think that the Sony PS3 should be the last games system from Sony.
This is what Blend Games thinks may be possible, in an article titled “PS3 Could Be Sony’s Last Console”, they said that the “PS3 has been a financial pain in Sony’s side”.
Now we would agree that Sony has lost money so far on the Playstation 3 thanks to going with Blu-ray built-in, but to say that it would be Sony’s last console seems a bit far-fetched.
While Sony’s profits may drop sharply thanks to many factors including recession, it’s a BIG statement to think they would never launch another games system after such a big take-up of the PS3 and PS2. Plus there are so many fans that would buy a Sony system over a Microsoft one any day, Microsoft may be good at software but it shows how weak they have been with hardware (RROD anyone).
The Xbox 360 has hit a figure that will allow many more people to buy it come Christmas, this will help Microsoft outsell the PS3 unless Sony make another price cut. Hit the read link below to read Blend Games full story, and let us know below in the comments what you think.
The consumer needs the future Xbox and Playstation, with both systems in the marketplace we get more competition and this again will benefit the consumer. No more Sony games systems…now that’s laughable.
