But why would Sony make such a future proof console and then release another in such a short space of time especially as their starting to gain momentum. I know their consoles have a 6 year life cycle but they wouldn't have made enough money off the PS3 |
First, they didn't make a future proof console, they tried to make one. Second, they are not gaining momentum, they gained some in September, at the cost of losing even more money. Third, by the time they would be profitable, their competitors would be sold for $99, so they would be forced into being distant third(and not bringing home too much money) OR losing more money.
The xbox 1 didn't make any money either, yet Microsoft had to discontinue it after 4 years. If it can't be fixed, don't waste time and money trying to fix it.
