Five Ways Sony Can Maintain its PlayStation 4 Dominance Over Microsoft's Xbox One

stunned the world last week when it announced that it would

Xbox One users to connect to the Internet every single day to play their games.

At the same time, Microsoft also eliminated the anti-used game measures that would make it difficult for consumers to share or sell their software. While prospective Xbox One buyers were thrilled by these announcements, they may not have been music to

In addition to selling PlayStation 4 for $100 less than Xbox One (and $200 less than the premium PlayStation 3 package when it was first released), Sony did not impose any of the restrictions that accompanied Xbox One.

Now that Microsoft has more or less leveled the playing field (the MSRP remains at $499), Sony could be in for a real fight this Christmas and beyond.
