Would Sony be a better company being just 3rd party? (gaming wise)

Think about that. I don't know about PSone, but with early PS2 years and with PS3 Sony had losses. Huge ones according to some. Current situation of the PS3 might be better with the slim model, but before that Sony was in the black. Pitch dark black.

Would Sony be a better, more competent and profitable company if it's gaming division was focused only on game development for thirds?

I cannot see a Sony IP failing if properly implemented honestly. Games like Gran Turismo, Uncharted and Killzone would sell amazingly well on a console as the 360, while Ape Escape and Jak and Daxter would be the best games on a console like the Wii.

Sure they would also sell on their own hardware (and sells)... but the losses on hardware minimize such profit.

 

Sony as a company, stock holders, both Nintendo and Microsoft, gamers... Wouldn't it be better to everyone?

How has going third-party benefitted Sega?  They aren't relevant in the videogame business.  Rather than being a focus of the industry, they have fallen below the level of Capcom and Konami, if not at their level AT BEST.  

you're looking at this from the wrong perspective though. he asked if sony would be a better company. if you're the ceo of a company who has tons of divisions, an electronics divsion, an insurance division, and a cookie making division. if the cookie making division is constantly losing money, why keep it running? they close it down and then all the ppl who like them cookies are saying "where's the cream fillin'?" you're looking at this from the cookie monsters' positions, which is not what he asked.

outside the gaming community, the world (stockholders) doesn't care whether sony makes a console or not, they just care about the company making the right choice to follow the most profitable, and the most prosperous path.
