because they would have royalties from the sales made on the system as a role?

Oww so sony is a bad company when dominating because they charged you too much for what you wanted to pay, no matter it was underpriced... ok understand. Guess Ferrari if was taking a loss would also be very bad for its customer because there are people that think it's still too high. You compare MS anti-customer decisions to Sony pricy console, yeah those are really up on the same ballpark, and PS2 dominating a lot was surely very bad for customers.

Or, as market leader, they could just tell the other guys to use Sony's service or not at all? And then Sony could just have the whole digital market to themselves, giving them more revenue than "royalties" from digital sales? I mean... do you really think Sony declined EA Access because it "wasn't a good value for our consumers"? LOL. Please tell me no. They said no because it would interfere with their own digital services. Yet they're going to just allow Microsoft and Nintendo to put theirs in? Of course, that's not even getting into the technical issues with such an endeavor. Your idea is just not based in reality.

I'm having a hard time believe you're this torn up because I said Sony made mistakes with the launch PS3. I mean.. it's widely accepted that they were too confident coming off PS2 and launched the PS3 too high a price. Your excuses about money lost is irrelevant. You know what could have helped with the money lost? Not using the PS3 as a trojan horse to win the HD format war. Also all of the incredibly cocky PR leading up to the launch. Sony messed up the PS3 launch. And this is why the PS4 is such a step in the opposite direction. I'm not going to waste any more time talking about how many Sony didn't mess up the launch PS3 LOL.
