30m is double as much, that is not worthwhile? And brands need consideration. With the PS3 Sony built with hard sweat the image, that even if they start off on the wrong foot they are supporting their machine no matter what. And that brand image is extremely valuable, as is reinforces early adopters, so you get good launch numbers and start off with a good momentum. If your brand image includes, that you abandon ship, if things go unfortunately, customers may be more reluctant and implement a wait and see stance. Insofar the missing support is damaging the brand image for Playstation Sony built with the great support of the PS3. Overall this may be only cracks, but these open the way to shatter the brand image in the next misstep. So sorry, it is valuable for a company even supporting a failing product. |
OK so ps5 doomed because of vita? 30m was best case scenario. Very generous estimate. Sony were much better off because it ensured ps4 absolutely dominated and continues to dominate the traditional console market. The revenue ps4 pulls in speaks for itself. Excellent decision.

In any case, 16m for Vita was very long ride (6.5 years) and question is if Vita will hit 17m. |
Well its shocking vita sold more considering Sony abandoned it so soon yet the Wii u got some big franchises from Nintendo. Splatoon, Mario, smash, Mario kart etc. It just shows this software alone isn't enough for Nintendo to move a traditional home console anymore. It either needs to be portable or have something like the motion controls that shot the Wii to stardom.
