| JWeinCom said: They didn't want to. Really though. Sony took a big financial hit to right the PS3 ship. I'm not sure they made that money back during the PS3 era, although you could argue it help set them up for success with the PS4. Nintendo is a fiscally conservative company, and they're pretty smart. They were able to make money during the Gamecube era, and they're back to profit now. If it's a choice between growing install base and making profit, they'll generally take the profit. |
This. Also, i think the developing of the PS3 was really expensive. When Sony saw its initial sales, freaked out and spent tons of money to recover the iniciative, creating a new money hole. Even with all of the PS4 profit, I don't know if they will get back all that money.
