What does it take for a Company to leave the console business?

Another issue is that even if Sony is able to sell enough consoles to catch Nintendo and Microsoft, will they be able to make any profit at all. I'm agreeing with John Lucas who says that they need to sell 100 million consoles just to make some money in this business. I think the stockholders will pull the plug because 50 mill is a best case scenario for Sony right now and i don't think that will make them any money.
