There's pretty much no way this is the real reason. Instead of having the spine to tell the truth and say it's because the competition would benefit from this more than Sony, Sony comes up with an excuse that seemingly makes sense while trying to make PlayStation look better. |
Of course it is the real reason. There is a slogan that literally just says it...

A business company is inclined to praise their product as better than the competitors. This is what Mr. Yoshida basically does. Nothing else.

If the truth is blatantly obvious to everyone, why should there be the need to tell it? But wait, as a matter of fact, Yoshida addresses it. Alas, not so obviously phrased for everyone to understand.
"I think competition is always good. Healthy, fair competition is always good for the industry and growth,"
Healthy and Fair. How is it healthy and fair for a corporation to undermine the process of companies competing against each other, damaging the road that lead to its position of success and give others a helping hand to get their game on?

No, they were not. Back then it was an exceptional case, not a continuously pushed feature constantly in the center of public attention.
Btw., the thread headline is still wrong.
Hunting Season is done...
