Sony is also really good at this. With the PS2 against the Dreamcast, they walked on stage, said "$299", and walked off. Later, the PS3 was struggling against the XB360, but then the Red Ring of Death issues popped up and they pulled way ahead. Microsoft then tries a bunch of Kintect crap with the next generation, and Sony says "do you want to play games? Buy a PS4. It will play games" and they win that generation outright.

Tons of other problems with Sony, but they are masters of taking advantage of competitors' mistakes.
