1. No Sony has not been trailing Microsoft in that regard. In terms of multimedia Sony was still ahead. Xbox Live was the superior OS at one point if that is what you're saying. Sales don't always equate to quality. Microsofts added apps after Sony did but made them a large part of the deal than Sony ever cared to. Blu Ray movies are superior to normal DVD's and thanks to Sony its now affordable in your house even if you went for the stand alone.
2. Sony gives a damn about money just like Microsoft just like any company should, but Sony became a great gaming company the second they touched the gaming industry by giving a damn about gaming and creating diverse experiences. Halo saved Microsofts skin in the gaming industry and Microsoft knows this. Imagine...one game which was meant for the Apple computer could revolutionize console gaming. Sony never failed to hang onto Americans because its still selling rather well in America. Americans are no strangers to large commercialization and monopolistic companies. You see whoever shouts the loudest can win at anything in America. Kinect acted like they revolutionized gaming and had crowds of people, while Sony did the same thing last gen and recieved no such reception because of shitty marketing. Microsoft understands how to exist in the gaming realm now and it doesn't have to include gamers to exist. Focus on payment plans and cellphone methodology is huge in America right now and because America is the strongest market it will dictate the pace for everything else.
