Off-topic response to X360 Master:

Well, I think that if Sony does go under, they will sell off the Playstation brand to a fellow competitor, such as Toshiba or Samsung.

Granted, we are speculating on something that could be nothing at all. But if we align all the things we have heard or know: Sony isn't profitable right now, borrowing money, negative press on the PS3, lawsuits, exclusive titles being lost, then yes, the magic 8 ball is predicting an end to an empire. This isn't good for gamers as a whole -- savvy gamers realize competition is a good thing.

But since the PS brand is a globally recognized product, I am sure it would not die with Sony. It would be auctioned off to the highest bidder in an attempt to salvage costs for bankruptcy. Just as MGM, and other Sony subsidies.
