From a profit stand point Sony would make more profits by being a software only company. Losses on hardware has eaten into Sony's profits and actually resulted in losses in some years.

However I do not believe Sony will leave the hardware side of the video game business unless they are forced out due to unforeseeable events that may unfold.

 

you do know that playstation 1-3+p still has like 2 billion worth of profits since it started right?

 

That is very small amount of profit considering its dominance for 10 years selling consoles. The Nintendo consoles have made around 6 to 7 billion in profits in the same time period. Microsoft consoles a loss of $4 billion in the same time period on hardware.
