Sony going third party is an excellent idea for gamers.

Problem is, some people like playing on console, using a controller. So the question is, why should Sony eliminate the main thing that made their console a market leader for 3 out of the 4 generations it's been in the hardware business?

I think the consumer case for Sony being 3rd party is good, just like the consumer case for any software developer to be 3rd party is good. But where's the business case?

Imo if Sony were to go third party thye should continue ot make consoles for those that want a console experience. 

You do realize that companies aren't genies that grant whatever wish you might ask of it, right?  There's not much reason to buy a console from sony if it's games are available on it's competitors hardware. If Sony ever did go third party, I doubt they would keep producing hardware for games. Sony shouldn't go third party though because it's home consoles do the best compared to it's competion.
