MS is fighting a completley different battle now than what Sony did with the PS4. Sony was arrogant and overpriced there system. Sony did not force a policy on the consumer that would dictate what they would do with there purchases or other restrictive polices. People are pissed and they still are. The MASSIVE loss of marketshare in the US is proof of that. They have to overcome that and the fact that Sony has best versions of multiplats.

The same report from analysts at Merrill Lynch that predicted that the PS3 could be delayed by over six months has also suggested that the components used to build each console could cost Sony over $800.

I have no doubt the PS3 was a good value at that price, I did for years I picked up a PS3 about 6 months after release.  Does not change the fact that it was overpriced. They clearly overestimated how much money people would spent on a console and it hurt them early on.
