Wii was in a similar position, in that like PS4 it launched a year after one competitor and around the same time as the other.

So is it like the pokemon company with Nintendo?  

 There are some differences, for instance gamefreak owns, iirc  50%  of the pokemon company , where as Polophony is fully owned by Sony, but for reasons I'm not to sure of it was a long time ago, they decided to create Polophony as a subsidury rather than a studio, most likely to help insure Kaz's continued involvement since GT was his baby , and you have to remember it was the PS1 era, so Sony's need to build up successful Ist party IP's to augment it's 3rd party efforts on a new console meant they had a premium  and when you have one with sales right up there with the biggest names in gaming, why it became a subsidury becomes clearer.     

sorry about that must have clicked multi quote . do you know how i stop it.              

If you multiquote a quote and want to unquote it you just have to click on the "same button" which would now read as "post in que"
