It's kinda funny actually.

Prior to the Kinect bundles the 360 was the cheapest option at $199 (before the Wii price drop) and a lot of Sony fans said that the more expensive console was selling just as well. But now when you factor in people buying Arcades with the Kinect ($300) and the expensive 250gig with Kinect ($400) I'd say the playing field is more even, and that Microsoft is doing better as the higher priced console - especially when you factor in $60 a year for live and people buying hard drives for their arcades ($130 MSRP) and some wireless adaptors for the old units ($100).

Microsoft has the advantage here over the PS3. Not the other way around.

Mmhmm... Not to be offending or anything, but it makes me sick seeing how much money Microsoft is making through Xbox and Kinect, while this is the year of the Ps3, and the fact that PSN is free, and the fact that Sony let consumers buy their own hard drives, and the fact that the Ps3 came with WiFi already in...

I try my best not to put my pro-Sony feelings in statements that I make, but honestly, Microsoft is making so much more than Sony, while Sony is trying, and failing, to please it's customers and make large amounts of money at the same time.

What the hell is Sony doing wrong?

Sony did force a lot of stuff on us in the begining.  I had no need whatsoever of a Blu-Ray player or wifi when the PS3 first came out and I was forced to buy them anyways.  Now that I have a better tv its great and all but at the time it was just a damnd waste.  So its just your opinion that they are pleasing the consumer base better than MS.   

Basically my thoughts are that both are huge companies who don't really give 2 shits about whatever you the consumer wants.  They want to make a dollar just like any other company.  People need to get over these idiotic ideas that huge corporations care for you.  They don't, they care for the bottom line and their investors and nothing else.  

Your loyalties should be to the individual games that are produced for these consoles and not the consoles themselves.  I would much rather praise a game than its console.  Because the game is what I am interested in, not what console its played on.  Currently I favor my 360 still, just because I am addicted to Reach.  I am starting to play little big planet a lot more now though.  So I may go back to the PS3 for a little while.
