I've always enjoyed being that feisty second-place guy that's clawing hard to get respect in the marketplace... And I often wonder whether that has been in the last six to nine months part of Sony's problem, where you get the this concept of the arrogance of the incumbent: you don't know failure and you don't know struggle, because all you've known is success. As a result, you have a different bearing on the way you do business every day, because it comes from a platform of being number one and successful, instead of a platform of being number two and striving for success.

Then again, compared to a guy who had to do the marketing for Sega Dreamcast and Xbox 1, have any of us truly known struggle?
