Your obsession with trying to prove that Sony is better than M$ and M$ is "obsessed" with beating Sony is borderline fanatical.
The fact that you believe that M$ finds Sony to be their main competition is the unfortunate part of this whole thing. Sure, it is important for M$ to be sucessful in the gaming arena, as it fits into the bigger puzzle for them. Would M$ like it if the PS4 was a failure - probably. M$'s competition is Google/Apple. If Sony even puts out another Playstation after this, it will not have their operating system. It will more than likely be an Android/Chrome OS. The next gen systems if they even happen will only be supported if they are on an OS that developers are already developing on. M$ is trying to maintain some level of relevence with all of their OS's being compatible to each other. If M$ sells 50 million XB1s they will have been succesful. That's 50 million people using their xbox music/movies/apps + the hundreds of millions of people running windows. That is what M$ is after. That's why they revealed the XB1 and hardly talked about games. Sure, they would love it if you and the other 30 million core gamers around the world fell in love with their system, but they don't need them to. MS isn't worried aout Sony being in the business of media portal, they have already given up that opportunity when they didn't succeed in taking their install base of the PS3 and turning it into a full fledged portal for it's users. The PS4 will outsell the XB1 and probably by a good margin unless M$ comes up with some fad game around the kinect that propels the XB1 like the Wii. In 5-7 years, Sony will still be Sony. They will produce hardware that runs everyone elses software/music/games. IF M$ is lucky, the xbox store will have taken hold and they will have put themselves in position to stick around long term.
