That’s my thought as well. It’s good that there are two console makers directly competing (Nintendo is off very successfully doing their own thing like they always do), but bad that they’re trying to bludgeon their way to superiority via exclusives.

So Sony has a streaming service & this is a streaming device, but you can't use it with the service, despite it having all the necessary hardware. This seems like something they will teach in business classes in the future. 

Convenience + adorableness + nostalgia factor. It’s that easy.
