A historian deals with future tense as well (though some really shouldn't ;).

Except, they don't.
And 5 - 10 years is still a vast amount of time, even to a historian.

Because Money no doubt, but Mostly market share, but SONY don't have a lot money unlike Microsoft, So it's impossible the money hated work the same with Microsoft.

SONY has Money, Market share, and brand recognition, and developer relationship, and human resource to help 3rd party publisher. While Microsoft maybe has Unlimited Money but the rest is just decent.

Microsoft is a more globally recognised brand than Sony and we know that MS has a devision of tech/geeks/developers whose sole purpose it is to go out and help companies develop games and get more out of the engine, I'd say that human resource to help 3rd party publishers trumps Sony's. Then again no one knows the full extent of each so its all guesses vailed as facts, typical VGC.

When it comes to video games, it does not and that's we're talking about.
