From what I heard MS wanted to partner with Sony to make the OS on PS2, but Sony shunned them. So MS fearing that the sucess of the console could threaten their OS domination (by pushing PCs out of the screen) started Xbox... There were some threads about it here...

PlayStation was created because Nintendo shunned Sony and the Xbox was created because Sony shunned MS! Hmm.. I wonder if anyone will get shunned by MS!

I wouldn't call that shunning what if Sony just liked their vision for the OS more?  I mean it's not like they struck a deal and backstabbed MS at the last minute
