I think in developing Xbox 360 the plan for Microsoft was to do whatever it took to stop Sony...
Problem was the only way to top Sony was to have a console as good or better than PS2. So I think they set out to make the 360 library as similar to the PS2 library as possible. The problem is people seem to prefer the Wii library to the 360/PS3 library
, but since Microsoft largely succeeded in imitating/assembling the PS2 library, PS3 and Xbox 360 look awfully similar now, with maybe three notable exceptions on each side. For Microsoft the advantages/differentiations are Live, Microsoft published games, cheaper for 360 and for PS3 its Blu-Ray, Sony published games, brand image.
