This guy was the head of the Xbox division in 07. I remember reading an article with him saying they would follow Sony. Every move Microsoft has ever made has been a response to Sony. The Xbox 360 RROD, Fixing the clock speed of the Xbox One late in the game, The investment in the Kinect after seeing sony create the eyetoy, Creating a project scorpio when there was no necessity for Microsoft to do it and copying Sony's ten year plan (well...eleven for Microsoft now...but they made this plan a year after Sony launched and revealed they would support the PS3 for ten years). I could go on and on. Its all they really do if you actually pay attention.
As I said..Microsoft is a shadow of their greatest competitors.
Honorable mention for Microsoft in competition with Sony:
-Not giving a damn about HD DVD's fate by when trying to use them to get people to veer way from Blu Ray and failing. Instead of putting HD DVD in the Xbox 360 they sold it seperately and let it die while Sony took the loss for the Blu Ray and saved it.
-Microsoft creates a augmented reality to outshow Sony's VR which was in development and realizes its too expensive and ahead of its time to sell at the moment.
-Eager to take Sony's table scraps when Sony lets go of developers for their top teir studios. Rarely if ever do you hear of Sony doing the same.

Boy, that Microsoft couldn't wipe their own asses if Sony didn't show them how!
/Sarcasm. I could point out several featuress that Sony has copied from M$ and Nintendo just as easily as I could point out several things that M$ had copied from Nintendo and Sony (and summer things I WISH they WOULD copy!). And I could do the same for Nintendo. And I could point out several things that are totally unique amongst all three companies. A lot of things all companies do are in response to their fans and market demand.

AA batteries are supposed to be a good thing?
