I'm not convinced that either Sony followed MS or MS followed Sony. I can very well imagine a scenario where neither Sony nor MS knew the other guy's path. We would have to know what happened three to four years ago in upper management, when development cycles started in earnest for next gen consoles. At that time, MS was on the PPC path, Sony was on an unsure path (continue expensive cell development basically on its own, or do else..). At that very time, AMD was starting to develop and tout its new processor architecture "that will bury anything on the market now and in the future" to anyone willing or even unwilling to hear it. I can very well see that both MS and Sony switched to AMD after hearing and accepting AMD's plans independantly, without knowing of the competitor's decision for quite a while.
