Because no console company exists in a vacuum. Their actions also effect the companies and people around them. When you contrive a different set of circumstances surrounding known events it always has unexpected consequences. These unexpected consequences may be for the better or worse and you simply don't know because once you change things you're heading into unfamiliar territory. Therefore saying that if they did X instead of Y, things would definately be better is untrue.

I'm curious as to how anything I've said suggests any of the console companies exist in a vacuum. Perhaps you're just borrowing terminologies that sound good rather than actually fit the situation? You are entitled to think whatever you like, but as I've already pointed out you don't have adequate logic to back your claims or ideologies, just vague and dodgey "well, anything could happen" deferments to any real substance.

 

You cannot predict the future. -> Established fact.

Therefore you cannot say "Had Sony done this or that they would have been X"
