Sony's Future Looking Dim with SCE Layoffs, Will Google and Apple strike?

SCE is Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios (SCE WWS) which has seen a bad year and even though the Playstation 4 is still selling out, it seems that its not enough. SCE has seen layoffs and possibly pay cuts, they have had to layoff five big Playstation developers, by developers I don't mean individual's I mean whole game dev company's. This has hurt the release of game titles for Playstation, and with not enough good exclusives we may see a drop in sales for PS4. One of Sony's biggest developers Justin Richmond has left Naughty  for unknown reasons, which is one of the only developers that has released console selling games such as Uncharted & The Last of Us.

A Chance for Google & Apple 

At the moment Sony is looking weak and may have trouble keeping their latest console afloat. But is this a chance for Google and Apple to enter the gaming industry? Both company's have been talking about the possibility of creating a console. If there was
ever a chance to get into the industry it is now, with two of the biggest console developers being Nintendo and Sony, with these two company's hurting, now is the time to get into the game. The consoles also have been released recently as well so Apple or Google could very easily release a console, as I have said we already know these company's have already been talking about creating a console, they may even already be working on them. And with Google recently buying Green Throttle games, it seems Google is already planning something, and by gaming console i'm not talking about the Ouya, that's a miniature console if anything. Probably Ouya was a test to see if Google could market a console. Time will only tell, but if either or both of these company's is getting into the gaming industry, then I can't wait to see what they do.
