NSW doubles as a home console that you can take on the go instead of having it plugged into the tv.... i think we can compare that to the ps2 DVD player ;)

Not really the same thing. Anyway PS2 had a long protracted period of sales because the PS3 was a dog in sales for a long time because of the ridiculously high price. 

You don't want to replicate that, yeah Sony did sell PS2s, but it likely came at the expense of the PS3, causing Sony headaches for 2-3 years, which isn't a good thing. 

Console transitions are actually far more vital and key to a company's business than net total LTD. A previous system selling to some LTD is not much comfort if you transition badly to the next cycle. I'm sure when things were looking really ugly for the 3DS and Wii U, Nintendo probably would've rather had 80 million Wiis + 120 million DS' if it meant 50 million Wii Us and 100+ million 3DS' the next cycle. 

Everyone accepts that Sony and MS's non-gaming features helped sell the console.

Physical TV/movie media is dead.

Guess who can stream and play natively both portably and then Switch to TV? Not Sony, not MS, not Apple, not Samsung, not Google.
