More Sony was a threat to living room computers (Which Microsoft was hoping to corner the market on.)

They were hoping to transition computers from the computer room/bedroom to the living room TV.

While sony was taking something that was already in the living room TV and trying to get people to do something else with it and expand it's multimedia functions.

Had Nintendo won the last couple generations and kept on with it's "Games only" philosophy there would of never been an Xbox.
