In an effort to remain competitive, Sony did a lot of things that just didn't make a lot of sense from a money making point of view. Good for fans but bad for business. Any attempt to make money like a business is supposed to do would have earned them a "$ony" label, I guess. |
The idea was to make the blu-ray the leading physicical disc format by pushing it hard with the PS3. That did not happen (it did become the leading HD disc format as well as the preferred console disc format), but if it had overtaken DVD - Sony would've cashed out on a huge investment that paid off for them.
Plus what happens over at SCE hardly has to do with the company's troubles as PlayStation continues to actually make profit for the company. It's really the other branches of Sony that are holding it down. PlayStation 4, as successful as it is won't make a dent in the financials as long as the rest of the company is failing.
