Forbes is telling us to stop Sony doom and gloom. No more doom and gloom, guys. Forbes has said so.</p>
<p>Clearly, this writer is no Nintendo fan. They&#8217;ve been having to deal with doom and gloom for for around a decade now. I can even see people saying that Wii U will be the &#8216;last Nintendo console&#8217; which is absurd. Aside from the 3DS, Nintendo doesn&#8217;t sell their products as a financial loss. What did Sega in was the Saturn and cutting off all sales of older hardware.</p>
<p>If there is any console maker I&#8217;d want to get out of the console business, it would be Microsoft. Why can&#8217;t this company just focus on making a great PC experience for games? And Windows 8 is a move in the wrong direction. What I wouldn&#8217;t give to get Microsoft out of the console business. Hopefully they would take their viral marketers with them.</p>
<p>(&#8220;Don&#8217;t say its Forbes. It&#8217;s just a contributing author.&#8221; If it&#8217;s on their website with their brand, it is Forbes.)</p>
