Sony is in a worse position. They're not as flush with cash as Microsoft and they have a lot more on the line. Their components are easily the most expensive of all next generation consoles, so depending on what cost they pass to the end consumer, they stand to lose a lot of money in the first couple of years of the PS3's release.
Oddly, Microsoft and Sony are polar opposites when it comes to gross profits. Sony's gaming division is the only profitable division, supporting the entire company, and Microsoft is profitable in all divisions but gaming, and the rest of the company is supporting the gaming division. Hmmm...
The PS3 could literally hurt Sony if unsuccessful.
