This. The Xbox brand is much less important to Microsoft than with the Playstation brand being more important to Sony. Or with Nintendo's consoles & handhelds being important to Nintendo.

 

...Sony is a computer hardware company. Playstation is in the same position as Xbox. It's not part or Sony's core business either.

Eh...no. Sony is a consumer electronics and media company. making the Playstation (consumer electronics) and gaming (media) very core to their business. 

MS is morphing into a services company, something with increasingly distances Xbox from MS's core focus.
