After a while PlayStation will become a Game Studio Only company and let go off the PlayStation Hardware but that's atleast 10 years Away.

So they are moving towards that

Why would they drop a part of their business that is doing well?

It doesn't matter if Sony pivots to providing software, if they can provide the console hardware too that is a bonus for them 

first - they don't make much money on hardware,second - they will not drop it till at least 10 years from now as i mentioned.

3 things will force them to become a Software only Studio gaming company.

1)Apple and Google and Probably Amazon will have their own consoles.Apple already has the Apple TV but it is far from a console and poorly powered but in the next 5 years Apple will try to get into Console business.Google and Amazon will soon follow.

2)Streaming will become a reality even for multiplayer games,but it is at least 10 years away.

3)Big Tech and all the industries have gotten way too consolidated and monopolized,US Government will break the monopolies and Single App Store model.Apple itself is losing the fight to a keep its iOS App Store monopolized.Something similar is going in Europe and South Korea
