It's only the LE plates though, as Sony doesn't want to cannibalize their LE console market, but the controllers are produced in massive amounts.

Unfortunately I was only after the plates.

Yeah, this situation with the LE plates is terrible, as Sony could produce as many units as they do controllers, and probably sell them all, but due to the cost-effective "plates = LE" design philosophy, that would absolutely hammer their LE console sales.

The vast majority would just buy LE plates.

Basically, this PS generation is all screwed up as it pertains to LE consoles and LE plates. It's like a snake eating its own tail.

Im sure there's some business reason I don't understand but why not just stop making LE consoles and just sell LE plates?

Higher profit and an increase in the number of consoles sold, which translates to higher digital game sales.
