"Rather, Sony won by simply not losing..."

This sums it up pretty well. Nintendo and Microsoft made poor business decisions and Sony avoided all the design and PR pitfalls that continue to haunt Wii U and Xbox One, respectively. The huge number of PS4 units sold continues to boggle my mind, but it's easy to see why Sony is winning the so-called console war.

Exactly and in sony's case it doesnt hurt that they have a good track record of both longevity within the console cycle 7-10 yrs per, and the abilty to compete consistently in all 3 branches of the global market unlike microsoft and nintendo.
