Please stop talking about Microsoft 'bribing' companies, Sony's done exactly the same thing in the past, present and will do so in to the future. Sony's marketing money and securing exclusives helped bury Sega and almost Nintendo too.
Microsoft builds crappy software, Sony builds crappy software too. Furthermore Sony charge a premium because of the 'badge' even if other Japanese (or Korean) companies can do the same for less or even better it. Sony has shown a lot of arrogance in the past across the range of it's products. This gen in the gaming division it has been deservedly humbled.
