Sony is clearly the most in danger of financial collapse- Microsoft can chuck money at Xbox for centuries (although I think they may exit shortly) and Nintendo has enough money in the bank to last 60 years with no profit. I don’t think Sony can last a poor generation. The next time a playstation fails, it’s probably game over for Sony. And I have a feeling that if NX has backwards compatibility, it can take out PS4…. lots of people don’t want the Wii U but want certain games that were great successes on the console. I don’t like Sony systems, haven’t seen any good exclusives since PS2, but if Sony can keep making people get playstations, they should be fine.

Sony makes no sense as a business. Their are no synergies in its various markets. The Insurance piece needs to be a separate company, as do the movie studios. The consoles and TV and phones and computers at least shared common components and technology and design elements. But those are low margin businesses that can’t handle Sony debt load. A restructuring would be best for Sony, shareholders and consumers.

That’s good news that the Playstation division will be more safe because of this………more likelyhood investment in games and services.

Yeah but for how long ? That remains to be seen .
I for one don’t think it will last very long , it’s sad to say …but, at the looks of things “yes ,they are doomed”
