More time to work on Hardware.

Sony are primarily a hardware company. Microsoft are software.

Three days after the 360 launch people were baying for MS' blood because of hardware problems - not a single software problem in sight.

We're now about two weeks after the PS3 launch. The only problems Sony have had are software problems - mostly to do with compatibility issues with about 200 games (sound won't play), and downscaling issues on old HDTVs that don't support 720p. I know that a patch is already in the works to solve both of these problems.
