In my opinion that's really surprisingm PlayStation is probably the one console left that's able to sell units because of their exclusives. Nintendo usually has that title but every console they make is able to be emulated within a year
I'd argue that outside of Nintendo IP, the console exclusive shit is dead now that multi platform is king. You'll never ship as many units that way, and the only reason anyone knows about some of these games is Sony's aggressive (and obnoxious) marketing, which also cuts into that bottom line.
Lmao Nintendo is doing plenty well at selling both consoles and exclusives.
I thought the consoles were a loss leader so they could sell games.
I believe PlayStations tend to become profitable a few years into the cycle.
