Don’t know about them not being a threat to “any” manufacturer, but it’s not very hard to see what they did to their dominance of the video game industry. Sure other companies including Microsoft come up with products that are sometimes pitiful half-assed attemtps, but at least the case with MS is that they do it in a way that doesn’t almost bring down the entire company. You gotta have a Plan B……..doesn’t look like Sony went that route this time.

The beginning was phrased confusingly…I originally read it as “Here we are in 2005″ meaning this was from 2005. But what was meant was the below exerpt was from 2005, and we are here two years later.

Anyways, I see Sony no longer being a top competitor in the industry, but I think we will continue to see PS consoles pumped out for years.

I don’t get all the negative slant on Sony articles around these woods. I love their products because they virtually last forever.

A threat? How can they be? They’ve taken their brand for granted for too many years. Once they forgot why the name Sony was trusted, they began to lose that trust, and now they have to get it into their heads that consumers want more than a brand: they want worthwhile products.

they may not be a threat, but they will be a powerful ally and a partner with all major players like Apple, etc…
