Of course, i'm not saying that sony will fail, neither i wish for it. But sony is more about following the patterns of the industry than defying them, and there is nothing wrong about it. Using a popular architeture, don't making big changes on its controller, built in twicth function, trying its own take at Virtual reality, all this helped to put PS4 where it is. By all means, they have made good things with its psn store, and for me there is where they really shine and make theirs best decisions.
But think about it: PS NOW can work on most devices where netflix work + a controller(psvita, ps3, sony TVs and smartphones). Wiiu and 3DS have netflix(and a controller). Sony don't have a problem with cross play in their plattaforms. Neither nintendo have. So, at this pace and if the business man play theirs card, we can end up having sony games running in nintendo hardware officially via cloud ina close future.
Can you imagine the megatons if this happens? People talk about dreaming with zelda and mario games on PS4, but we can end with Kratos, Joel and Drake on wiiu first, hahahahahahaha.
You laugh now, but remenber that years ago, sonic fans laughed at a similar idea too.

"Hardware design isn’t about making the most powerful thing you can.
Today most hardware design is left to other companies, but when you make hardware without taking into account the needs of the eventual software developers, you end up with bloated hardware full of pointless excess. From the outset one must consider design from both a hardware and software perspective."
