Correct Lord Flashheart they did decide years earlier when they saw the system specs for the PS2, as well as the success of console gaming take off. Remember PC was (and still is) the largest gaming market. Windows is on PC. They make money on Windows. Do you think they just saw the PS2 the day it was released? No they new years ahead of time what capabilites Sony was looking into regarding the Playstation brand plus Sony already had said years and years ago they wanted to "rule the living room" and for the Playstation to become a technological hub. Listen I'm not saying its the ONLY reason the Xbox brand exists but it IS the largest reason.
