So wait. So far, it's looking like after 4 home consoles, Sony will have 4 of the 5 best selling home consoles of all time.
.. and you expect that to drop off a point in the next 8-10 years that Sony won't bother with a 6th home console? What's the logic there?

If we're going off past performance, has Sony or anyone else ever beat a portable Nintendo console? Nobody has been able to compete with a half-strength Nintendo portable, even Apple should be worried about a full strength one.
Nintendo is sat on their own little island where nobody can get them. They have all the time in the world, they're not going anywhere and they're only going to get stronger. Nintendo can 'outrange' Sony for as long as they want without repercussion. Sony has to go portable if they want to stop the inevitable but they can't. That's what's so great, this is some Sun Tzu level shit.
The inevitable being that, just like with walkmans, cellphones, ipods, laptops, netbooks, tablets, 3G/4G, portability wins out as the performance/quality gap gets smaller and smaller.
