Deep focus versus broad versatility. PS or Xbox, I will take the immersive experience of superior, focused gaming over a distracting you-can-do-anything-and-be-interrupted-by-anything environment.

I keep thinking of the comparison made on the design approach of Apple vs. Microsoft made at http://www.marco.org/2012/10/26/an-alternate-universe. 'Apple’s products say, “You can’t do that because we think it would suck.” Microsoft’s products say, “We’ll let you try to do anything on anything if you really want to, even if it sucks.”'

Priority focus will be reflected in the design of the hardware and the user experience. From what's been revealed so far, hardware-wise, game software-wise, and user experience-wise, Sony has the edge, however slight.

@Diarm0 Yeah, but it didn't have WEAPONCRAFTING!

@Blade_Runner22 … will determine to acquire, or not to acquire.

@GuitaristMatt @Restivus They want to make Windows 8 appear as successful or more so than the predecessor. They want to inflate the value of the company. It's a cynical ruse that says a lot about how they value their investors over their customers.
