From a PC gamer perspective, let me ease your worries OP. Microsoft has money to buy Sony a hundred fold if they wish to. Above all, with all that drama, 100 price tag and power difference, PS4 should be selling 3-4 times x1 which it is not.
Come Halo, Gears, Titan Fall, a lot more microsoft aggressive exclusive grabs will even see x1 overtake PS4. At the end of the gen, x1 will sell 80-90% of PS4 numbers.
Bet on it.
