The correct answer would be they are the richest company in the world, and can absorb humogous epic fails like putting aside one billion to make up for a poorly designed machine. Sega could not have done that, but Sega never had that problem. MS also bought a lot of games to be either exclusive or taking them away from possible Sony exclusivity. Again, Sega could not have done this, but again, they didnt have this problem either as they had great exclusives en masse. Sega didnt seem like a very unified company, and had advertising problems. MS doesn't have this problem to a large extent methinks. The major difference is very very deep pockets.
