Microsoft introduced a video game console that wasn't focused on video games. The company demonstrated repeatedly that it wasn't listening to its most core consumers, and in doing so lost a lot of early momentum.
And now Sony is showing early signs of making those same mistakes.
More than just upsetting fans, Sony's refusal to allow cross-play sparked some major game publishers to speak out. Sony - a company that enjoyed years of good will with gamers following the launch of the PS4 - started looking like the arrogant one.
It was reminiscent of Microsoft's messaging around the launch of the Xbox One, which often felt like Microsoft wasn't listening to its most loyal fans.
