The first cut is always the deepest............... Sony were the first "corporatrion" to join the gaming world hence my issue here is with Sony, not with microsoft.
For example Sega Corportation was a Corportation.
If you mean consumer electronics company, you are wrong as well. Philips for example failed with their CD-i, the platform had some of the worst Mario and Zelda games ever released.
Sony made gaming the dog eat dog business it has become today, Life was far better when REAL gaming hardware and software developers were around. (ie Atari, Sega, Nintendo)
A little example history lesson.
Amiga Corp was an innovative gaming company, which was secretly developing state of the art gaming hardware which could be used for a full computer as well (like the Coleco vision/Coleco Adam or even the Super Nintendo in Japan). For example they released a Wii Fit like product in the early 80s, where you would shift your weight on a balance board to ski, surf, etc.
Atari tried to screw Amiga Corp when the company ran low on funds and wanted to buy them out for very cheap (and fire its employees) after lending them some money in the past (demanding the money back), Commodore eventually bought Amiga Corp instead for 4 times the amount and kept them employed.
So such things are somehow Sony's doing? That took place in 1984, you know?
