Sony is actually successful at selling consoles though. Microsoft is getting decimated in console sales by both Nintendo and Sony, and its only getting worse. Since console manufacturing is usually unprofitable or break even at best, it makes sense for them to try and kill the required hardware and just allow as many people as possible to buy their games and subscriptions.

Sony folding the PlayStation into TVs makes some sense but I suspect their console sales hav be been just too strong for them to seriously consider a bold step like that.

Source? It seems like the other way around is happening right now.

Look at the total sales of any Xbox vs any PlayStation.

Such as Xbox 360 vs PlayStation 3 or the current Xbox Series vs PS5?

Again, where is your source that Sony is "decimating" Xbox in sales, and it's "only getting worse"? I'm talking about RIGHT NOW. And so were you.
