Could Sony be going the way that Sega did?

Sony happens to be bleeding red financially, the way Sega did. It is
banking on the PS3 to enable to have dominance in the market, kind of
the way Sega was hoping with the Saturn. But, like Sega way back when,
there is rumblings of corporate screw up. Like Sega, Sony faces
competition from two competitors. Oh, Sony is top dog now, which Sega
wasn't, but there appears to be similarties. PS3 is more expensive
than its rivals (just like the Saturn was in America). One could argue
Sony's bungling in the format wars is akin to Sega rolling out too many
videogame console formats for customers. The split models of the PS3
has some similarities to the 32X and Saturn splitting. Well, not as
bad, but has the chance to confuse customers more than the 360
different versions. Also just like, in the Saturn days, Sony is
releasing a black console against a console of a competitor that is
light in color (Playstation-360).

Anyhow, anyone else seeing the distinct possibility of Sony going the
way of Sega? They bleed so much ink, they feel a need to drop out of
the console business, and just go for software content? They ride God
of War, Gran Turismo, Ratchet and Clank, etc... onto future consoles,
while not making a console of their own?

I think he's playing off the pure stupidity of that jerkoff "Mr Mr" who
posted the PS3/Neo Geo thing across a bazillion different groups.
