The main reason Microsoft is even in the game business is they were worried the Playstation represented some kind of threat to the Windows OS and Sony would use a "Sony OS" to displace Windows ... this never has come to pass and Sony in the grand scheme of thing is no threat to MS at all.

While they were busy chasing after Sony, Apple and Google rose to be actual threats and today you now have hundreds of millions of people everyday using non-Windows OS during their day-to-day lives (iOS and Android).

THAT was the threat, MS was worried about the wrong company all along.
