So many defensive Sony threads recently.

Nintendo has significantly less risk than Sony. They have one clear focus and they are the market leader in the handheld market. Nintendo is a consistently profitable company, with only two major products on the market it's not difficult for them to change their strategy.

The Wii U has been a disaster, they bet on the casual market picking it up and the casual market lost interest and moved onto the next fad. Nintendo have hinted that they have new hardware in development/planning that will be backwards compatible with Wii U titles.

Personally I think they have to go back after the core gamer, or get into the Tablet/Smartphone business.

Sony on the other hand is a large multi-national corporation. They have business/factories worldwide and have fallen behind in many sectors.

Their hardware business is failing, they have lost market share in the smart phone, TV, music player and electrical sectors.

Sony used to have multiple sub-brands like the Walkman, Vaio, Bravia but only the Playstation brand is really still relevant.

That said the Playstation, film and TV businesses are doing well and I can see Sony shifting into a content creater/services company.

They have lots of first party developers to create games, as well as TV, music and movie studios that can deliver content to their devices.

The problem is turning around the hardware businesses, pulling the profitable sectors down with the ship.

You do know that Sony also has a financial services business and that it is also their most profitable division, right?
