Se rumorea que no habra PS4

[XavierK]

Segun trascendio en algunos diarios japoneses SONY estaria por vender la fabrica que produce el CELL processor que utiliza la PS3.

El comprador de la fabrica seria TOSHIBA.

Esto fue "ligeramente" refutado por SONY. (Osea dieron una respuesta medio ambigua).

Segun parece esto se debe al desastroso desempeño economico de la compañia este ultimo semestre (Gran parte por las bajas ventas de la PS3).

Esto deja entreveer que Sony se podria estar abriendo del las consolas. Aunque esto es poco probable, si es evidente que la PS3 fue un fracaso y la perdida de dinero para sony fue importante.

According to recent reports TOKYO (Nikkei)--Sony Corp. (6758.TO) shares have fallen 26% since hitting a year-to-date high in late May, as investors have become wary of the company's inward-looking business stance, The Nikkei Financial Daily reported in its Wednesday edition.

Sony's stock ended lower Tuesday, with reports that it plans to sell a
cutting-edge chipmaking facility to Toshiba Corp. (6502.TO) as early as next spring failing to impress investors.

According to news reports, Sony plans to sell manufacturing lines that make the Cell processor to Toshiba for slightly less than Y100 billion. The move follows Sony's announcement last year that it intends to reduce spending on the next-generation chip to succeed the Cell, which is used in Sony Computer Entertainment Inc.'s PlayStation 3 video game console. Under a strategy of selectively consolidating its semiconductor operations,Sony plans to beef up its image sensor business while jettisoning the Cell.

"All we've heard from Sony recently are plans to quit something," said Eiichi Katayama, an analyst at Nomura Securities Co. "The company hasn't presented us with any new growth strategies."
