Aww shutup nikka. Plenty of people came in this thread and mentioned Sony.
Hell the only reason this thread exists is due to the "console wars".
It's been well known the XBox division was a money pit but they do a lot of good stuff I don't see them being evaporated within the next 10 years.
PS3 has been profitable for years now. Sony as a whole is another story you idiot.

I think the brand will always be around, just spread across different platforms such as Windows and Windows Phone. The brand is too big to just evaporate like that...I wonder how that xbox section on the phones and windows 8 are doing. I should do some research on that.
The console market is doomed IMO and it would be smart on Elop's part to dip out of it after the xbox one's run.
Stop this shyt man, I already banned him from the thread.PS3 has been profitable for years now. Sony as a whole is another store you idiot.

Cool. Gizzle aint even involved in the console wars and shyt. And lives in fukkin Seattle. nikkaz bringin up Sony when this thread has nothing to do with them.
There is already one out and its failing.
BTW my opinion is almost always right, even if it upsets you.

Wait how they fukk are they losing money on xbox? Didn't they just sell 80 million units. What are they spending money on? They sell 360 and Xbone units at a profit.
might have to do with the way they do business. They like to buy third party and spend money on stuff like the nfl stuff then to have their own studios do the leg work. Plus factor In that RROD fiasco and how many consoles they had to replace

I have no strings on me.
Same At my work place. This news is only a surprise to ppl who look at MS as a gaming company first. Now I dont know if they'll do it or not. But outside of Windows, MS does not need the home user when they can lock businesses into long ass licensing deals. If it wasnt for whats basically free money from Android patients you would of heard this type of talk sooner.
Im sure they want to take that 2 billion and dump it into their phones and tablets.
I don't know how much, but compared to the office, windows, and server and tools divisions, the entertainment division where xbox, bing, and zune are housed aint pulling its weight with the stockholders who have a strong voice with the company.
It's not failing because it's a console though.
