The PlayStation line exists entirely out of spite. Sony didn’t start it because they liked video games or even because they wanted to be part of the market. It exists entirely because Sony wanted to screw Nintendo over after being screwed over by Nintendo. When an entire product line exists for spite at a company like Sony, that has already taken people to task over betas and DACs, for instance, it’s never going to be something that is sustainable because now that they have ‘beaten’ Nintendo they don’t know what to do with the product line.
This is pretty much what’s happening to Xbox right now too, the only reason Xbox exists is because Bill Gates had a small obsession with getting Microsoft into the living room and since Xbox was a passion project and now nobody who had that passion works at Microsoft anymore they don’t know what to do with it and are just ringing it dry for money.
