PlayStation created the Industry, Xbox changed the playing field

I'm not saying microsoft didn't do a good job with the 360. But watch e3 2006 and tell me that THE PEOPLE  (because I guess I need to make the distinction) at sony weren't incredibly arrogant. And the watch e3 2013 and tell me that THE PEOPLE at microsoft weren't arrogant. Sony's arrogance made their console less appealing for the first couple years. No, a company doesn't have emotions, but the peopple who run them do. Very few decisions can be made completely objectively. Sony reps said that if you don't like the price of the ps3, get a second job. That's screams arrogance. I don't know what you're trying to proce with this post though, honestly. The reason sony had trouble last gen and microsoft this gen is because of stupid choices made thinking that they were now infallible. Then based on those choices, people picked a console. It's almost like you think that I don't know that consumers make the choice. I'm very aware of this. As for you adressing what I said two posts above. Sorry, I don't have time to read through a twenty page thread. 

They weren't incredibly arrogant. They simply believed the PS3 was the superior console. That's pride, not arrogance.

Watch Larry Hryb and Don Mattrick interviews at e3 last year, and sony execs at e3 2006, and tell me that that's not arrogance that put them in their respective situations.
