Sony going third party is an excellent idea for gamers.

So what will happen if Sony writes off Playstation consoles.
1 They will earlier produce less games and sell studios than make more games.
2 The traditional console is pretty much a relic if Sony leaves the business.
3. Sony is in tons of debt, wouldn't be surprised they if they are not going to produce consoles anymore, another company buys Sony SCE.
4 PC will get access to PS games, buy they won't be optimised and Sony will jump on the bandwagon by saying buy an extra 1080 for 4k/60fps. The only reason Sony games look good is because they have to sell a system.
