Sony was one big trash fire. They needed to show how they were going to break out of the TV box.

...Why? The PS4 is the most successful console of the decade. People like what they're offering. Why would they need to fix what isn't broken?

First, you can't say it's "the most successful system of the decade" when the 3DS has still sold more than it. 

Sony's problem is that their model won't work in the future. The newest generation isn't watching TV. TV viewership has been declining for years. TV ownership is also in decline. You can't survive as console maker when you are tied to the TV? Moreover, the iphone 7 was released in 2007. If you are 10 today, you have never lived in a world without mobile computing. These kids are going to be in the prime buying age in a generation or two. How is Sony going to sell to a generation raised on smartphones?

Nintendo Switch was Nintendo's answer to the changing demographics. Nintendo is perfectly fine and is being greatly rewarded for it. Sony isn't. The longer they wait, the worse it will be for them.
