I'm not JUST talking about exclusives but about corporate wide competitiveness. Remember Kevin Butler? Remember free online gameplay? Remember the HUGE price reductions early on? Remember how much better the UI got from 2006 to 2009? Remember the awesome PS Plus games they were giving out? 

I am old enough to remember the PS2 vividly. I was in my early 20's. Right now, this era feels closer to that Sony than the PS3 Sony which was lagging behind and fighting tooth and nail to win gamers back. Saying that it's only been two years since launch and thus, we shouldn't expect this or that because the PS3 didn't do it yet is not an apple to apples thing. Sony isn't IN dire straights, searching for a way to win. They ARE winning, and have figure out how to win years ago so, there really isn't any more excuses. 

You forget that a lot of those were sollutons to problems the PS4 doesn't have. The PS3 got big UI changes and huge price cuts because it launched with a crappy UI and a crazy price, the PS4 didn't.

The instant game collection didn't exist until 2010 and then didn't start giving big games until June of 2012. Not to mention that until November 2012 they were only giving out 2 games a month, not 6.

Bold: But it's just plain silly to compare the accomplishments of a console in it's first two years to the accomplishments of a console over the course of seven years.

You mentioned in your first post that Sony was being lazy. So I have to ask, what could Sony be doing right now that would make them active and energized.

We are aproaching what could be one of the best games years a Playstation console has ever seen, and the launch of a virtual reality headset. That hardly seems like sitting on their hands to me.
