| fireburn95 said: Sony are turning into microsoft last gen, the only difference is, all this 'tv, sports, entertainment' big push they are doing isn't stopping the flow or focus on games at all. They've still had 2 conferences this year, with more games 'announced for ps4' than games 'shown for ps4 but previously announced' and two more to go, not even including their large announcement list from last year too. They're really trying to push the brand further in the USA to steal the momentum microsoft had for last year. A lot fo big events and promotions usually had an xbox logo in there, but now, this, the mainstream ip marketing (Batman, Star wars, Assassins creed and call of duty) and the multitude of services (playstation tv box, playstation original series, playstation music) shows how sony are trying to push the playstation brand further than the sony brand.

I think the major difference between Sony and MS, is that somewhere along the lone MS felt or decided that games alone wasn't enough to carry the Xbox brand. so they decided to expand, nothing wrong with that... but their downfall was that their message became "he you can do all these great things with your Xbox, and oh we play games too"
Sony simply put games front and centre and are basically saying its cool enough to just play games and yh you can also do this and that if you want to.
Biggest mistake ever for MS was how they unveiled the XB1. Its like they just completely forgot who their audience was.
