Because Sony loss billions of money in Ps3' sales https://www.theguardian.com/technology/blog/2008/jun/25/sonyhaslostmorethan3bill https://www.cnet.com/news/sony-still-losing-on-every-playstation-3-it-sells/ The Ps3 was not a good profitable project in long run. The PSP and PS3 years was the worst profitwise years for Sony. |
And without PS3 investment in games by Sony, we don't have PS4 success either. So in the end, i think PS3 was succesful to Sony because it produced the anticipation and confidence in their consumers to buy a PS4. You can say it was the most expensive advertisement ever if you want. Because yes, PS4 did not sell as well worldwide as it has done just because Microsoft botched XBO announcement. PS4 sold like it did during its first years because PS3 consumers where completely happy with their console and its games and wanted more of the same with PS4 but better, like people keep buying Mario, GTA, COD, FIFA, etc....
If PS3 was not succesful like some of you have said, PS4 would have never been the success it was at launch...
