Because 3/4 times they've tried head to head they've gotten absolutely blown out by Playstation and the one time they won, the PS3 still almost caught up. Not only them but Microsoft too. Playstation is just too daunting of a competitor to be beaten in the strict home console market. The only real mistake they've made in like 25+ years in the business is the $600 PS3, other than that they don't give their competition much to take advantage of. If the PS3 wasn't $600 due to Blu-Ray it probably would've topped Wii sales but still managed 85 million on the low end for them. |
What about the 2011 PSN hack? The DS4 battery life? Knack? Don't tell me you already forgot about the recent crossplay debacle?
Harsh? Maybe. But you're being naive if you think that Sony can't lose. All of the big three are capable of screwing things up if they don't keep each other in check. And the $600 PS3 was not $600 for very long, so I don't think it was the sole reason they lost the gen.
Also, and I'm telling you this because it's actually something I found out recently, but did you know Sony posted operating losses for much of the PS3s lifespan, and I believe many quarters of the PS4s lifespan operated at a loss as well. I had always thought Sony was raking in the dough but then someone posted a chart that showed profits, and it was weird because Nintendo has almost always been profitable.
