Buy a PlayStation 3 and Sink Sony

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the there-be-sharks-in-them-there-seas dept.

sonnyweathers writes "There has never been a more perilous time for Sony than 2006. But if you think you can save the company by buying PlayStation 3 consoles, you're wrong. Analyst Evermore believes that selling 6 million PS3 consoles will make Sony a ripe target for takeover — perhaps even by Microsoft."

    "DON'T buy our console!"

      Xbox should have a new slogan, "Buy American".

      Ignoring the fact that, you know, the systems are made in Mexico.

    Hrmm... that's a quite risky opinion you have.

    hahah :) nicely done.

    Actually, my only 1:1 "interaction" with Ballmer was when he held the door for me at the entrance to the health-club most MSFT guys go to in Redmond. He had forgotten his health-club id card that morning. His money more or less built the whole place so I smirked as he explained who he was to the person working the card scanner. "Ballmer.. B-A-L-L-M-E-R..".

    I can attest that when asked who he was, he did not shout "DEVELOPERS, DEVELOPERS, DEVELOPERS!" :)

    Games: Playstation 3 launch at risk from giant turtles

    An anonymous reader writes
    On top of Sony's other problems, analysts are now predicting that the Playstation 3 launch may be at risk of attack by Gamera, a radioactive turtle from beyond the dawn of time. From the article: "If Gamera the giant firebreathing space turtle lands on their offices, they'll bit in quite a bit of trouble too, and that's about as likely to happen." I don't think there's any question at this point that Sony is doomed.
    Sony is going to have a lot of trouble withstanding an attack from Gamera, as not only does he possess great destructive power, but he is also a friend to all children.
