they already left it the xbone was released as a cable box and nintendo released a bad tablet. ps4's success and profitability is a result of sony being the only company releasing a home game console this generation

let's go ahead and toss some quotes around "profitability" in relation to sony since they sell the consoles at a loss and every other aspect of their business would suck away any profit it might theoretically make anyway

let's also go ahead and toss some quotes around "success" in relation to any gaming device not made by nintendo

let's not. ps4 has been profitable since early 2014. Sony has really benefited from being the only company to release a home console this generation.

again, the quotes are appropriate for "profitable" because they're still hemorrhaging money and console margins won't be enough to save them

if the console division is lucky they'll get spun off and can sink on their own merits some time after sony tanks

they had to cut production and that hasn't happened to the iphone ever and apple in general since the ipod dragged them back from the brink
