As the title says - discuss if Sony showed anything last night that may be concerning to Microsoft.
My personal opinion:
I think Microsoft doesn’t need to worry about anything Sony announced here.
Better hardware is the expected for both consoles. Which one has 5-10% extra power is not a game changer anyone will lose sleep over.
What else is new that Sony showed off here? Social features. I am pretty sure that MS is well aware of social features judging by Windows Phone 8 and Windows 8 abilities to integrate socially in to everything.
Some of the streaming stuff Sony showed off was pretty interesting, but Microsoft could easily one up them with their cloud infrastructure (see Azure being number one cloud service) and software experience they have.
Bottom line is that I think Sony has an idea of what Microsoft is bringing and they realized it's better to announce the console early and get some public and developer attention instead of competing at E3 and ending up in Microsoft’s shadow.
