What are these real issues?

1. Sony is not a videogames company, without PlayStation it wouldn't be the same, PlayStation is a service and the core of other services, there's where Sony's aim is, not on videogames themselves, keeping the branding and the services tied to a single material place, their consoles, they have more ways to make good use of it, and access to a good public in all world regions already.
2. Sony going out means console gaming death, plain and simple, PlayStation may not be everybody platform, but it's the reason why console gaming is what it is, without a Sony console gaming would prove unstable, and console gaming models, which value hardware that provide more people means to play, by proving cheaper and simpler ways to current gaming than PCs, if you want a TLOU like Naughty Dog game, which would be using PCs top specs, you would need to cash in for that kind of stuff, instead of being able to play those kind of games with a modest machine, which leads to the next point.
3. Sony wouldn't gain much market reach for their games anyway, unlike Nintendo IPs, Sony has a structure of moving foward with their consoles, Sony creates and let go, so Sony doesn't have nearly as many "very known faces" to hype sell their games for people that weren't insterested on having a PlayStation anyway, while they already have big install bases to sell their games and services just as well.
The outcome for Sony and Nintendo going third party are based on wildly different factors.
PlayStation actually provides a good way out for Nintendo or XBOX going third party, while neither Nintendo or XBOX have for PlayStation.
