Microsoft pulled out the money to try to secure as many games as possible to support the 360, thus attracting customers to it's product.
Sony used the the Playstation brand power to pull the money from it's loyal fanbase to support it's power play on the home entertainment industry.
What I find extremely funny about the situation is that if Microsoft used this tactic....say using it's number one selling product (Windows) to trojan horse a new product that they wanted to dominate another market (Internet Explorer), tons of people scream how unfair and horrible Microsoft was as a company.
That is off topic however; as a gamer who is not ridiculously loyal to one company or another, I am very happy with what the 360 has provided me.
