They can't discontinue it yet, for the same reason Nintendo won't discontinue the Wii U yet. It will continue to be a liability on their financial records, but cutting it off now, and screwing the 7/8 million something Vita users already out there, will cause more long term damage. There's just enough of a userbase out there that they have to support, even if it won't make them as much money as it should be.

So yeah, less AAA games, but they have committed to a Gravity Rush 2, and they'll do every other thing in the sun to make sure it keeps on getting games.

I think they're making the most of the situation.

While I agree that Rich insisting on his train of thought would be stupid, you could have been more civil and not even used that word. Having said that, I don't think you should change anything in this video at all!

If Rich does make a reaction video, I want you to remember that (obviously) he has a financial incentive to get his videos shared and talked about.

OK, so I'm not crazy about that little diss in the end, but it's consistent with your argument, and you still did not go after Rich's work, not really anyway. Obviously, I think you were in the right on this one, and Rich just did that thing that makes him have to make retraction videos :)

BTW, this isn't clear from Bloomberg's reports, but Sony has to phone in a loss from selling Vaio because they'll be reporting projected sales from the division as a lost opportunity now. This won't be the case with the TV subsidiary business, but it should show up in the annual financial report, unless Sony decides to hide it there too.

The article this comes from is on their print rag and is not on the site.

I think Sony is seeing more challenge in TVs, where they're trounced by brands like Samsung and Changhong, and smartphones, one of their few sure profit centers, but dwarfed by iPhone, Samsung, etc.

This does not necessarily follow. Like Sony and Nintendo, Microsoft had an interest in gaming thanks to Sega, which prodded them to enter the space.

Google seemed to have a genuine interest in entering PC gaming via Chromebook OS, but it's not there anymore. It's in Valve's self interest to take control of their own platform, so that's one for us.

As it is now, the risks and costs associated to dedicated gaming consoles make it prohibitively expensive to come in, so Apple would never want in. Everyone who wants to enter gaming is doing so via Android, rightly or wrongly, because it's the cheap way in.

The real disservice here is made to Playstation fans, who are being conditioned to think that the 'next-gen wars' narrative actually matters. You ought to be grateful PS4 even got released, and be worried about the future.
