I would ask if Nintendo no longer requires a certain "threshold" of sales before they actually PAY the eshop developers. When I heard about that, I was disgusted. Some Wii store developers probably STILL haven't been paid just because they got JUST UNDER the payment "threshold".
More to the point, what sets Sony apart here is that no one needs to pay Sony anything to publish games on the PS4 now. In that way, it is more like the PC (or the Atari).
I read about MS's "family sharing plan", and I just found it is NOT what we all thought it was. No, you can't share your game with 10 people simultaneously. Only one person can actually play the game at once, so basically, there are NO advantages over traditional game sharing, it's actually as we thought, more LIMITED than traditional game sharing.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
