Why would anyone choose a more expensive Sony Windows Phone over a cheaper Xperia Android Phone? That's a dead end, don't understand why they even bother.

How do you know the Windows Phone is going to be more expensive?
Sony alr dy has to pay Microsoft royalties for using Android, then Sony needs workers to tweak the interface and the OS and all that other stuff to run Android on it's Phones, Windows Phone basically comes in a box ready to be applied.
In-fact Microsoft earn's about 2 billion bucks a year off Android, it's actually more profitable than Windows Phone is.
As for Windows Phone itself it's a slick and responsive OS, the interface just works on a phone, the market could do with a major 3rd OS to compete against the likes of iOS and Android to help push innovation, Windows Phone is slowly getting there.

I don't but considering that Htc Windows Phone 8X and 8S retailed higher or at the same price than other flagship smartphones at the time, which had better specification like Galaxy S3 or even Htc One X, and both launched earlier, I don't see a scenario where a Sony WP costs less or packssimilar specs than a Xperia "Z2" and costs the same. (couldn't find a retail price of Samsung ACIV S Neo to compare Samsung's pricing of similar phones).
As for the 3rd player, I don't see a neccessity of another OS. You have 2 to keep themselves in check, plus in house competition of Android devices to keep consumer wallets happy. And please tell what innovation did WP bring, maybe I'm missing something here.
