Say what you will about Sony and Nintendo but they have output and they care about gaming because they have to, it’s the only way they make money.

You are aware that Sony makes lots of other things besides games too?

Take a look at Sony’s annual reports and then get back to me. PlayStation is the engine that drives the company.

Maybe you should take your own advice, according to https://www.statista.com/statistics/297533/sony-sales-worldwide-by-business-segment/ for the latest available year there (2022) the business segment "Game and network services" is only around 26 billion out of 88 billion total.

  1. Revenue is not profit.
  2. Gaming is by far the biggest bar in that graph.

I stand by my point.
