As long as Sony is making money off of a product line to sustain great products, it's probably worth their business venture/investment.  So you are still wrong.

When did I say it wasn't worth their venture?

I said.. read it carefully now... that Sony cannot sustain its hardware predominately based on its own software whereas Nintendo not only can but has numerous times.

You remove PS1/2's massive 3rd party exclusives and other software to the levels of N64 or GC and you will have Playstation losing each gen. easy. In fact, it probably would have never had a PS2/3.

GT is arguably the only IP Sony has that sales at the level of Nintendo's top 10 IPs. Super Mario (this includes SMB, M64, NSMB, Galaxy), Pokemon, Nintendogs, Brain Age, Wii Fit, Wii Sports, Mario Kart, Zelda, etc are all far bigger IPs than anything Sony has with the one exception of GT... and even that is still below most of these.

No matter what you show, GT could never carry hardware on its own. PS has required Final Fantasy, Metal Gear, Tomb Raider (PS1), and the hordes of other top notch 3rd party titles.
