Ok so now you do recognise that they did invest and build the PSN which contradicts your earlier assertion. Wether or not they monatised it as effectively as MS is another issue.
They may have used a different online model but they are having success with the Playstation Plus service. It has not been confirmed what kind of online model they will go with the PS4.
I'm not trying to say that they are out of the woods, far from it in fact. But clearly it seems apparent that Sony has made moves to cut costs and to be more streamlined as they can only absorb losses for so long.
The hardware design of both the PS4 and Vita is indicative of this new approach. Sony is no longer making exotic designs and is using industry standard parts to cut costs and to make it easier and cheaper for 3rd parties to develop on their platforms.
And again even if you think that Sony bought its way in it doesn't diminish the fact that they now have a great online service as well as a high output of high quality 1st party games released annualy.
