Hindsight is 20/20 and all.
There's a universe where gamers flocked even more heavily to playing just one multiplayer online title and Sony's strategy paid off handsomely. But ours isn't it, so all there is left is to pivot back to their winning strategy with the PS3 and PS4 in spite of rising development costs.
Of course, now they're placing the games on PC to help keep their profits climbing higher. But that's risky, too, since PS looked to be building an ecosystem over generations that could rival Steam but now there's little incentive to buy a PS5 if you own a PC. We'll see what the future brings.
