Two things can be true. They wanna sell consoles, but they also wanna get to the billions of gamers outside of consoles.So why are they trying so hard to sell consoles?
To sell more consoles than sony they’d have to severely limit their profit potential.
Sony sees how limited their profit potential is with their current strategy. So they are now adopting some of microsoft’s strategy. They just don’t have to be so drastic with it because they are leading the console market.
