Agree. It took Nintendo a long time to be (let's say) independent and successful and has taken occasional huge losses in the process. This rollercoaster of their roadmap didn't come cheap.

Sony, on the other hand, never had to worry about it. With 95% of AAA games coming to their platforms and with excellent 1st party titles, picking a Sony console was no-brainer from the consumer perspective. You could have the best of both worlds ... the safe choice if you will. Now if you take one of the best selling games away from their platform, the average Joe will at least start reevaluating his consumer decisions.  

Perhaps. PS4 had a software attach rate of 10:1, and Sony IP's sell better now than they ever have. They still have a lot going for them. 

It is more than 15:1 nowadays from what I know, PS4 SW is close to 2B units sold if I'm not wrong.
