people shouldn't ignore that one of the BIGGEST and probably MOST RELEVANT REASON why the PLAYSTATION 3 failed and fell well behind the XBOX 360 and NINTENDO WII early on is because sony launched a console for $600 expecting people to work a 2nd job to buy a playstation console.. Sony had a great line  up their first year... RESISTANCE/MOTORSTORM/UNCHARTED 1/RATCHET AND CLANK/CALL OF DUTY 4/ASSASSINS CREED/HEAVENLY SWORD/and more.. but.. their price just almost destroyed any chance of them even competing for a couple of years.. yet they still managed with the 40gb ps3..

price/PSN were probably the biggest reasons why sony fell behind and are catching up today

Yeah, but even now... when Sony simply outshines MS in nearly every category when it comes to games and features, and the price is affordable... they don't sell that much more like they should, logically (http://www.ign.com/videos/2012/09/26/playstation-conversation-why-does-the-360-lose-exclusives)

They must differentiate more, instead of losing billions in their old strategy, the "let's differentiate by being more powerful" kind - which the market denied, as they are the "twins" to most consumers, similar. Another round of Sony being slightly more powerful than MS is going to break them g.ood, even at the same price - which Sony most likely can never reach microsoft's bargain power.

at underlined.

I beg to differ. Of course Sony has more exclusives in more categories than M$. But that is not to say Sonys offerings are better or has more features.

Personally, M$ have the best FPS's, TPS's, driving sims, WRPG's and if Horizon lives up to the hype will have a very healthy shout at best arcade racer.

In my country I can directly compare PSN and XBL of which XBL is miles ahead. Way more content on XBL and muc more apps ( which are features ) than PSN. PSN only carries about 30 demos. Why? XBL has well over 300.

PS3 is mainly my awesome Bluray player. And I get to play some great exclusives to. But nothing owning a PS3 screams they ( sony ) outshine M$ for games and features.

I believe thats reflected in the sales you cant really understand how Sony arent killing microsoft.
