Yes, I know Sony bought them out in the 1980s. For people back then, it raised alot of fear about Japanese companies taking over America. And yes, the PS1 and PS2 did become the dominant console in America, but not with some resistance by the press, people, and media.

It does have alot to do with the history of why Americans are generally more forgiving toward MS and less forgiving toward Sony. In Europe / Japan, it's the opposite situation.
 Um, before Sony the consoles and handheld wars were fought b/t Nintendo and Sega, too Japanese companies. Americans (the ones I know), are not more forgiving towards MS than Sony or Nintendo.  Hell, the Xbox barely outsold the Gamecube in America and America was the strongest market for the Gamecube.  You are so far in left field on this one.  There are a ton more Sony or Nintendo fanboys in America than MS fanboys.
