Regarding the hardware, are you deliberately ignoring Nintendo? They have low cost, cheap hardware, good margins, and are able to get a huge part of the market.

I agree on the need of a shift in product development, but the hardware isn’t what is lacking here.

This certainly has not always been the case. Nintendo lost money on consoles same as SEGA and everyone else.

Not sure how that’s relevant to what is discussed here. Would you only consider game console companies that never lost money?
