They are not at a point where they can abandon it. Also, Sony is too late in the game in terms of software. Nintendo could survive because they had franchises people wanted. Sony does not. Most of the big games people anticipated were by 3rd parties. |
"Disrupting the industry???" What makes Nintendo successful and relatively financially stable is that they cater to the core. I don't see why this should be a problem. If a Nintendo console doesn't appeal to you, you have other choices. And about the claim that SONY does not make franchises people do not want, I have to respectfully disagree. Looking at SONY's wide variety of franchises, you could be right at face value. But many of the franchises that "no one wants" are catering to those who are into those franchises. That's going for a speciific target audience instead of just going for the masses. Of course SONY also targets the masses, but they also cater to those specific audiences.
Hackers are poor nerds who don't wash.
