Definitely not.

First of all, this debate about the more powerful system is getting old, both systems had advantages and disadvantages. Sony did just a very good marketing job at selling this console and the Cell architecture as being so good. Too bad they failed in that area after that (marketing) compared to the 2 "others guys"

And then, Sony is like any other company, only thing they care about is to make money and the guys making the decisions does not even know what a video game is, thinking otherwise would be kind of foolish.

There are two ways I could make money.

I could get a job and earn it.

or..

I could buy a gun and rob people.

 

My point is, there are different ways to "care about money". A way that shows you want to KEEP making the money your making, and a way to get as much as you can quickly before everything falls apart.

My point is that they are not using different ways to make money :)
Xbox Live vs Playstation Network is not an argument at all. The offering is different and the cost of Xbox Live has been a 1000 times justified by a lot of people so no need to start another flamewar about that.

And to follow your two exemples, I'm sorry but I hardly see Microsoft being in the second category. If anything, I would see Sony there for different reasons too.

Oh but they are.

Sony is pouring money into game development. Sony's #1 income comes from the games.

That's not the case for MS. In fact, I'd say they make more straight profit from XBL than any other profit stream.
