It seems like, recently, the best way to win a console generation is by not screwing up.

Sony lost the 7th gen because of the system's delay and ridiculous price. Microsoft lost this gen because the DRM policies ruined people's trust.

Bingo!  Except that this isn't new.  What really was special about the PS2?  Besides the DVD player, there really wasn't anything special.  It simply came out 1.5 years before the competition with plenty of games.  It was solid all around, but generally wasn't exceptional in any way.
