Sony's Future?

[Perfect Stu]

Sony is undoubtably the king of console gaming today. They've announced a handheld multimedia player (games being its main focus) to enter that realm. I can't see how they CAN'T be a success in that area, if not the market leader in 5 years or less. And finally, we all know that the PS3 is coming probably in 2006. What do you see for Sony's future in the gaming industry?

PS2
The system will continue to outsell its competition until next gen. Franchies like Metal Gear, Final Fantasy, Grand Theft Auto and Gran Turismo will be the backbone through the years 2004 and 2005 that will lead a long list of millionselling software titles. Sony might buy out some development teams like Insomniac, Zipper and Lost Boys to strengthen the SCE brand. Over 100 million systems sold is my projection.

PSP
PlayStation Portable is released at a pricey $199 price tag, but software titles cost only $20-$25 each. After some tremendous sales, some movie studios decide to try some of their movies on the PSP media format. Record companies follow suit, and soon the PSP will be used as a handheld game, music and movie player. Nintendo realizes that their GBA system is outdated and before the end of 2005 announce and new handheld gaming system.

PS3
Unveiled at E3 2004, PS3 promises some awe-inspiring visuals, sound and hardware muscle. Developers stay close to Sony and begin developing for the system ASAP. System launches Fall 2006 with broadband, HDD, High Definition and Digital/Optical Sound support built in. Sony unveils a television brand that 'works best' with their Playstation system. After year one for PS3, Sony again sets a pace their competition can not keep up with
