Someone who gets it. Sony isn't just going to have free reign, just because MS exits. In fact, MS being in the market as introduced some pretty nasty things to it, and that's not even including the crap they tried to introduce this gen. No, Sony will still have PC and Nintendo to compete against. They price their console too expensive, and people will just get a Nintendo system or a PC. And like you said, devs are always trying to up the ante to be the top dog in terms of graphics and gameplay. So, it's not like their first parties will just give up and put out crap. It also helps that the guy in charge of their WW Studios is an avid gamer, so he's not going to want his guys pumping out crap he can't stand to play.
Personally, I think Sony has seen what works very well this gen and is going to stick to it. Offer a powerful console for $399. And keep up the great 1st party support (they've always done this, though.)

You know why Sony offered a powerful console at $399? BECAUSE OF MICROSOFT! Just because you and fellow Sony loyaltist don't want MS to stick around, the vast majority do.

No. Sony was already going with $399. They didn't know what MS was doing until E3. They were estatic that MS went $499 cause it meant they had the price advantage. So, without MS, it would have still been $399. And vast majority is definitely overstating it. MS does not keep Sony in check. The consumers do. The drop from PS2 to PS3, mostly due to the high price, is what woke Sony up to having expensive custom HW isn't a good thing.
