"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.

So they won by making smart decisions? Like every other winning console in history.

With the exception of the wii edging out a win last gen (which was more marketing/new demos than anything) that is true of the rest of the gens including the current one.
