so no MS never lied they just had changes of strategies that made complete business sense... (1)

 But never before you had a so poor ratio of true AAA versus ZZZZZZZ games. (2)

Sony is to blame for EA, Activision bad behavior, never before could they dare abusing the customer like they do today, Sony enable that. (3)

but beside that Sony in most mainstream consumer electronic is a plain shitty company with really poor price to quality ratio in general (4)

Well I have to disagree on some of your statements...

1: MS representatives first said they couldn't remove the DRM policy, nevertheless the did. Kinect couldn't be removed from the SKU because it's tech was completely integrated in the console, and yet we have a kinectless SKU.
You can call them business decisions, I call it lying to the consumer.

2: There was a crisis before the first PS launched in 1994:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_video_game_crash_of_1983

3: Microsoft even wanted to take that behavior to a next level with their XB One DRM policy as explained at it's first E3 presentation ( http://www.vyralize.com/2163/xbox-ones-drm-policy-clarified-and-its-just-as-bad-as-we-expected/) , which they ditched eventually.  
And you can't just blame a company for the consumer-unfriendly behavior of others.

4: I think it's a descent company and their products have a descent price to quality ratio.
