Notably, they are blaming the PS2 for their poor performance. Also interesting is that PS2 sales are fallng everywhere EXCEPT europe. Can anyone think of any particular reasons for this?
It's worth noting as well that Sony's non-console making competitors are performing very well by comparison. Could this signal to Sony that, despite their strong performace in the games market, it is not suited to them, and could possibly mark a return to their core competiencies?
Which would of course mean the abandonment of the PS3...

I saw something similar in the FT. No chance of them abandoning the PS3 though, they are putting Y90 billion into R&D for their games division, most of which is for developing the hardware for the PS3.
I have never owned a PS2 and plan never to own one... It was all my fault that they failed because i never bought one!
buahahaha!
buahahaha!
The PS2 has saturated the market.

The playstation has never been very popular in japan.

Could be the fact that they have already sold so many that not many people don't have or want one.

Why when they make so much out of the games industry.
