Re: Sony's Problems and PS:N's Future

sony has been around a long time. and they were arguably one of the reason MMO's exploded the way they did. they didnt bring the first ones out, but they were the ones that brought it into the limelight.
that said, sony is well backed, and they have over a decade of proof that mmo's bring in good cash, whats more, i doubt this will hinder anyones opinion of using the service, it happens. if it has any impact what so ever on online gaming, it will be as a whole, not just sony. if anything this will effect other aspects of the internet, blamed for the intrusion.
as for PS:N, if the game was due out this year, sony will have entirely to much time, and money invested in it, to just let it die off, they would lose more by not releasing it then by doing so, and with the advances in tech, it very well may be a new front runner in the MMO world, since other then PS you really only had WW2 online, and it didnt really hit hard, it was unplayable to the casual player, though i had fun times.
in short, i cant see this hurting sony hard at all, and i dont see it delaying the games release, sony will come back strong, and releaseing sequals to two of their most defining games, and sequals to two of the MMO's worlds front runners (ps being arguably the largest scale fps game, and the best of its kind, and eq taking the mmo world into a new height) will only cement their place back in computer gaming.
that assumes of course they learned from past mistakes, and ps:n can actually be played on most computers (because when ps came out, man, did it kill systems)
