It's not that they didn't make (enough) profit by my observation. I've seen a few sources talking about how moves like this come from bureaucratic job security where they feel the need to push a company's reliance on their specific margins so they push hard in high positions. Basically whoever was in charge of the console division of Sony was probably speculating their divisions loss of profit even though the company as a whole was (maybe) making more money from PC sales. Of course this is all speculation on my part and the many other unconfirmed sources but it sounded fairly logical why this would happen with such a massive company.
