"We believe that shutting out as many consumers as possible is by far the better strategy than being boring and inclusive like Microsoft. Trust us, we're Sony and we know how to not lose money!"

"We once refused to be inclusive because we wanted to be exclusive, and it backfired on us, then we realized we can't actually compete toe on toe in the same ground as our competitor and we decided to open up to seek another routes and now are trying to paint our competitor with what we have been refusing while we still thought we could directly compete and dominate them, as we don't want that anymore as we can't achieve it we now will try to bring them to our fighting ground so we can actually finally try to fight, and make our aim at spinning what we once did to blame them if they don't come. We believe forcing as many consumers as possible to what we want is very inclusive and respectful, trust us, we are Microsoft and we know how to use our infinite money to try to force others to what we want"

Trying to justify your own actions by a competitor's past is so average. MS uses money to force people on their platform(that most are already on anyway) while Sony is using nostalgia to force people on their platform.

Let's face it, people who control their own platform will never have the consumer's interest in mind. What we should do is supporting awesome publishers like Square Enix who are able to free themselves from the console shackles more and more.
