Sony did well last gens because they outdeveloped Microsoft and outperformed them worldwide.

Really??? So were you present in the first 3 years of the PS3 on the self or you just ignored all the moves Sony made in order to drop the price of the PS3 as much as possible while taking a lost on the system for years. Pretty much the majority of the PS3 lifespan Sony had to drop price cut any type of profits to maintain any decent marketshare against the 360.

I'm 100% aware. Doesn't change the fact that Sony's development cycle internally bears more fruit. The advantage MS has is that they can pay more people to work for them. Sony more than made up for their stupid mistakes.

Yes, Sony development cycle is great, its the reason I have bought all Sony consoles including handheld devices. The thing is, I am not talking about 10 years down the line when Sony was able to provide more value game wise to their system, I am talking about the first couple years where Sony just like MS had to cut price and components to bring the price of the PS3 in order to compete with the 360 and Wii.
