That was is not over. They accomplished slowing them down, but did not completely accomplish their goal. MS is the type of company that goes for the throat and they will buy up any real estate just to do it....ask Steve Jobs. Microsoft wouldn't have launched at the exact time that they did last year if Sony didnt blindside them in February of last year stating that they are launching the PS4. There were so many reports that MS was rushing to fix the clock speed of the Xbox One that it wasnt even funny. Sony makes them flinch,,,which is why they rushed the 360 launch before R&D could finish it causing one the greatest failure rate in gaming and one of the worst in electronics. Luckily for all of us MS has money and can fix their warranties and thus fix their PR. This is why we have so many fans in our Xbox Ones. Paranoia is key. ;)
As I said before, you're putting the cart before the horse. Sony is naturally more dominant than MS and this is why MS flinches everytime they do something. Ever seen Sony make a irrational move because of Microsoft when it comes to development? I know I haven't. They've made mistakes on their own, but not really out of response to Microsoft. Microsoft is a company that by nature doesn't like competition. Not only is Sony having an home entertainment console an issue for MS, but the fact that in its day it had its own OS was a threat. The fact that Sony turned them down as a partner kills them, which is why they came to the industry to destroy them. One of the old presidents of Xbox admitted it. I believe his name was Joachim. If Sony worked with Microsoft every Playstation would've most likely had a Microsoft developed OS. They like monopolization. NIntendo is not an issue for them...they wanted their real estate on Sony.
Joachim said the Xbox was pitched to Microsoft with the purest of intention. They wanted an American console made console and MS wasn't up to it until they had issues with Sony. Everyone has their reasoning and Sony got into the industry because of Nintendo screwed them over and never realized that the industry to were using to get revenge in the beginning turned into their bread and butter.

lol, yes it is. You cannot honestly believe Sony today is as big a competitor to Microsoft as they were in the early 2000's. Just, no. You can't. I have more faith in you than that.
The war has been over for awhile now. Sony was Germany and Microsoft/Nintendo/Apple/Google/Roku, Inc. etc etc etc were the Allies. And you are Teruo Nakamura, hiding in a hut somewhere believing the war is still going on. Come on out, friend! You are relieved of duty.
