PS2 is very profitable for Sony right now. and PSP is becoming a very good hardware seller. Also, the way Sony can reduce the cost, wow, Some credit MUST go to Warner. ;) |
I don't think it was a noob-ish move, since the Xbox and PS2 had vastly different levels of success and support. It made a lot more sense for MS's gaming division to axe the Xbox and throw its full support and resources behind the 360, because the Xbox just didn't have the userbase to support development of a new system. For that matter, the 360 didn't have the enormous development cost and losses that the PS3 had in its first year.
