PlayStation Brand Faces Uncertain Future

[Nujui]

sony ain't coming back next gen they fucked up big time and won't be able to recover from their idiotic mistakes this gen their finished in the console market -end-

One mess up doesn't mean the end of sony.

They'll be back next gen.

lets see now....

1. they pissed off a lot of people by removing other/os
2. they made themselves look like jackasses with their idiotic useless court cases
3. they pissed off anon BIG FUCKING MISTAKE!
4. they didn't encrypt cc endangering 2.2m peoples accounts

yeah i'd like to see them bounce back from all that no one is going to trust them ever again except the small bunch of moronic die hard psx whores they have left and it's very small indeed!!

--- end of line ----

The first three are nothing. Sure, they removed other os, but now people can have it back, limited, but still back, if they so chose too.

Making themselves looking like jackasses doesn't mean they're gonna end.

Anon are just little pricks. What are they gonna do? Stop psn again? Send more pizza?

The credit card thing is gonna set them back yes, but not to that extent. And did you forget about the NGP?

the only thing they have managed to do well is show everyone just how greedy and pathetic they really are!!!!!!

In a year, hardly anyone will even remember this. Sony's not backing out of the console race because of a couple of mistakes, their next console will still probably sell well, (as long as it's not overpriced) and they'll probably be fine financially to.

O_O..........

i think you forgot to add.."/sarcasm"

...I'm truly TEMPted (see what I did there?) to say "You meant his medication...?", but that'd only add to my colourful collection of WARN's. Thus I will say "cookies" instead and bid you farewell, for I forecast a Thread Locking to occour here soon.

This topic is more infertile than the Sahara Desert anyways, nothing will sprout from it.

I'm gonna go with ya.

If anything, Nintendo's got more to worry about than Sony. PS3 sales have been on the rise, not decline, while the opposite is for the Wii (hence the need to announce a new console). The PlayStation brand will not phase out despite the whole PSN issue. Sony got hacked. Doesn't mean they can't dig themselves out of this hole. They're a leading electronics company for a reason.

You obviously don't understand how big of a company Sony is.

Sony as a company will survive, SCE will survive but will only make computers and such but the gaming division will not, well there goes the NGP.

If they stop doing the NGP, wouldn't they lose more money that they would not doing it?

Depends most of the time yes but you have to realize that saving Face>saving money, losing a few million won't matter to a corporation like Sony if you can ensure customer confidence on your other products.

Please stop fucking commenting. All your posts here are pointless and don't contribute to anything.

On-topic, yes this whole deal will damage Sony at least a little, but in no ways does their "brand" face uncertainty.

The Public is not willing to teach Sony a lesson. They will use PSN when it is back online and have "faith" in Sony's promise that they have beefed up their security so that this kind of incident will not happen ever again. The corporations always win in one way or another. Sony is not going anywhere. They are here to stay.

 

[VashTS]

this should teach a lesson to game companies and they should stop charging for online stuff. make it all free!!

nah, sony will be around this won't kill them. but i won't be buying any sony products from now on. i seriously now look at sony differently. they make good electronics. but i do not like their business practices anymore. they will not be getting any money from me any longer. sorry. i'm pretty sure i'm not the only one who feels this way and will act in this manner.

It isn't going to affect Sony as a company. It will affect their computer division. Whether that will show in their sales is uncertain. People will buy their goods and stuff, but I hope people will never trust their security again. That trust should have never been violated in the first place. What they did to their customers is akin to leaving the fire retardant insulation off the steel girders in the WTC tragedy. It was a sound structure, until a foreign invasion tumbled them. So yea, I hgope Sony wakes up. I for one won't be trusting them with my info.

 

[Masterpaul]

The last sony tv I brought was my last sony product I will Ever buy again.

Wonder after all this, the US will continue to make those PSP Go when Japan and Europe will discontinue them.

Or the future of the NGP

I could have told you several years ago that Sony had terrible business practises, nothing has changed since the PS1 came out really. They got arrogant and the arrogance was even worse with the PS2, then they got bitch slapped with a nice helping of reality that was the launch of the PS3. Sony should suffer, after all they did to Sega and Nintendo for business and the arrogant attitude that the company and it's fans displayed towards the gaming industry, they deserve to crumble under the weight of their own ego.

Unarguably, PlayStation is no longer a byword for next generation entertainment.

Bullshit from a shitty site.

Indeed. That's like saying no one remembers the dreamcast as an example of gaming.

 

[KingVamp]

Even I think some of you people are being a little harsh on Sony. :/


Didn't get me wrong they're nowhere near my main company...

 

[mysticwaterfall]

Sony isn't going anywhere as a company or as console maker. These are the same people who continued to make walkmans (the original, cassette ones) and floppy disks until just last year.

What's really happening is just history repeating itself. Atari was on top of the industry, then arrogantly thought they could produce any crap with there name on it and people would buy it (ET, Pac Man, etc...) and they crumbled. Nintendo was dominant in the NES/SNES eras, but then grew arrogant with restrictive business models and assuming that third parties would never leave. So they fell during the N64 and Cube eras and have rebounded with the Wii.

Sony is just the latest company to be arrogant with success and fall. Will they ever retake the #1 console spot? Hard to say, who knows what could happen in the future. But will they be in the console race for the foreseeable future? Surely.

Most of the gaming population doesn't remember the Dreamcast because it isn't worth remembering, it failed so quickly because of so many problems. Sega fell from grace because they put out like a billion consoles between the time the original Sega Genesis came out and the Dreamcast, or at least a whole ton of hardware expansions that you were forced to buy to play new games, Sega 32x, Sega CD, Sega Saturn etc etc. Sony's fall from grace has been the PS3, Nintendo has rebounded after faltering around the N64 era because they latched onto a new market and hilariously enough both Sony and Microsoft attempted to steal that market away and have done a rather terrible job at it by not providing any software to support their new and optional controllers, as opposed to the Wii where motion controls are required and a normal game pad is the optional choice.

 

[KingVamp]

Wait, wait ,wait... The majority of gamers didn't remember the Dreamcast?

That ridiculous. Where the proof?

The PS3 may not be nowhere as successful than the wii, but you can't just kill it off.

I mean if PS3 was the (Wii)WS3 then it wouldn't be getting as much beef, but I would worry/have a little concern of the lack of innovation. Nintendo is all we got for that.
