~10 years ago, back in 2014, Sony announced Project Morpheus (later Playstation VR). There was a spirit of intense competition, but also collaboration - Oculus and Sony always swapped demos.
Sony actually paid for all the indie game dev booths at the Tokyo Game Show for many years, even ones that had nothing to do with Playstation. Even the ones who were only on competing platforms like Oculus! That is just the kind of guy @yosp was.
