This. I'd say very much this.

I believe some of the biggest damage MS may have done with the electronic version of New Coke is to open the door to Sony again, specifically turning households (like mine) that were strictly XBox back into open competition. With the reversal, they've still handed back years of advantage, created ill will and gained pretty much nothing in the process.
