Not sure how you can claim have won the war when your competitor still owns the most lucrative market.

This is a decent analogy if you're looking at the present. But then you have to also consider the previous and next gen consoles. PS2 was a world-beater back in tha day. The problem was that Sony got pretty smug and thought they could make the PS3 succeed by riding on the coat tails of PS2.
They were absolutely wrong. They seemed to ignore the fact that xbox was a viable competitor and basically brushed them aside. Now xbox owns as much of the market here, if not more.
Now looking at this generation, it has taken a full console generation to right their ship, as well as a few missteps from MS for Sony to get a favourable look by the market.
If Apple wants to succeed, they'd better be ready to face their competitor, and not look down on them.
