Sony's gaming division is profitable but not because of it's hardware sales, I dont know the numbers but I would'nt be surprised that if they stoped all hardware and focus on shovelware now PC/Xbox/Wii U/mobile their gaming division would do more profits. |
Hardware is still a profitable business sector. PS3 didn't do it well, but it is selling well now and having hardware allows for sale of accessories. Plus, how do you expect them to sell software? They take a cut of 3rd party sales. Going software only would severally reduce their software sales numbers. Hardware is making their software profits. They risk it by eliminating hardware from the equation, besides, Sony is moving to bring their software business beyond the realm of their own hardware already. They don't need to get rid of hardware to accomplish it.
Before the PS3 everyone was nice to me :(
