Sony 79% Likely To Go Bankrupt in 2 Years.

[The Big Daddy C-Master]

These companies are struggling big time. The pc just looks better and better. It seems they are at least doing solid this gen, so there's that.

www.macroaxis.com/invest/ratio/SNE--Probability-Of-Bankruptcy.

According to Macroaxis, a financial engineering tool website that analyzes companies and determines their well-being, Sony Entertainment has a discouraging 79% chance of going bankrupt in the next 2 years. (You can go here if you want to learn more about Macroaxis and how they operate.)

“Based on latest financial disclosure Sony Corporation has Probability Of Bankruptcy of 78%. This is 182.34% higher than that of Consumer Goods sector, and 163.57% higher than that of Electronic Equipment industry, The Probability Of Bankruptcy for all stocks is 122.48% lower than the firm.”

While it wouldn’t be factual to say that SNE will fail in the next 2 years (it’s all a guess), the 78.49% figure is based off of real, actual numbers. Many will consider this number overly inflated, but it all doesn’t sound too far-fetched when you take into consideration some of the things that have been happening over in Sony Land. Last year, Sony’s market value was slashed down to “junk” status, and they’ve sold multiple HQ buildings as well.

Not to mention, Sony still hasn’t recovered from all of the money they’ve lost on the PS3, and the Vita is still not profitable and isn’t selling as well as it should.

For comparative purposes, Macroaxis is stating that Nintendo has only a 22% chance of failing in the next 2 years, which is very ironic considering the fact that the majority of gamers and journalists online are always claiming that Nintendo is in imminent danger, when in reality Nintendo is very healthy and Sony is the actually the one closest to failing out of the console manufacturers. Microsoft is sitting off to the side with only 1% chance of failure.

Personally, I feel that Sony will be just fine and this is just a statistic, it doesn’t mean something will actually happen at the end of the day. I’ve been fully aware of Sony’s financial woes for the last 7 years (unlike most gamers) but at the same time, I feel that they are a smart enough corporation to turn things around. Let us know what you guys think down below.

Not surprised. When Japan learns to believe in entrepreneurship then things will improve for them.

People have said it was due to many things. Costs of making games, trends changing, losing a lot of money on their other various products.

Sometimes this talk is just speculation though, but it does seem like consoles are becoming more and more phased out for handhelds like tablets and such. Only a matter of time before it's the PC for heavy gaming.

Yeah, consoles are losing their appeal. The only thing they really have going for them is exclusives. Once they lose that then it's gg. PC or Cloud gaming is much more convenient.

I agree wholeheartedly. The only reason to have a console is for exclusives. There really is no other reason.

PC has more power, versatility, you can play games several generations back without needing multiple machines, you can use what you want as a controller. It's cheaper in the long run because of cheaper games etc.

They keep adding all these features to consoles to make them more "pc like" (even though they are computers). So what you're left with is really a poor man's computer. Now that handhelds and ipods are more popular I think heavier gaming will go on PC.

Now they are porting fighters onto the PC and other games. Every multiplatform game goes on the PC for the most part and is almost always better.

It's a win all around. Especially now that I have a gaming desktop and laptop and can play what I want when I want. No reason to go back to console except for an amazing exclusive IMO.

I think back when consoles were little more than electronic "toys". Consoles were justified, but yeah. Things have changed. I definitely want to see more PC ports. This console war stuff is dumb. Because PC are more powerful than all of them combined.

Well hey if it works and people want it, then it's all good. Now machines have advanced a lot and traditional consoles are more limited. You will see more and more people doing things on the go and they want versatility.

I tried to stay far away from that. We had a bit of that here with some of the Nintendo fanboys saying PS1 only had 2 good games and blah blah blah. A waste of time really as PC does it much better.


The PC vs console wars are funny though. People like to say the console is better because of "couch gaming". When you can game on your pc while on a couch, or bed for that matter.

Yeah, it ridiculous. Console fanboys know they're only real advantage is exclusives and user friendly software lol.

The folks who play PC are also ridiculous too, Keyboard & mouse for FPS > Control Pad

its not hard to use a Control Pad for those games.

Not really. Mouse and keyboard is far superior for FPS games.

I wouldn't say that it's impossible to use a controller. Those games tend to have to compensate with more autoaim though.

That's why you have the option of turning it off....

Console shooters still have more stuff to help compensate for you using a controller. The aiming still tends to be more lenient.

The point is, why would I want to play an inferior game with inferior controls when I don't have to?

I don't even mean PSP or Vita. I mean Ipods, Ipads, etc. Many are going this route in the mainstream and developers are making more and more games for that interface.
