It is an IEC 320 C7 Non-Polarized AC power cord.
Microsoft and Sony didn't collude to create a slightly modified version of an internationally standardized power cord. The cord you are using probably just isn't very good, which is the same risk you run ordering this one.

The cable has to be rated for 10amps on a North American cord.
Read IEC 60320
NEC does something similar for outlets, but not power cables. Any outlet that has a 20A interface in the US is required to have a cable and breaker feeding it that can supply 20A/110V.

Though, it looks like there is a C7/8A cord sets which are slightly longer, which might explain your issue.

In general, the cord may work but its not a sure bet.

IEC is technically an EU standard(compliance is required for a CE stamp)
The ones you saw at lower ampacity were not for North American outlets.
Every one on mouser for "North America" is an 18AWG, which is rated at 10A

here's the spec sheet: https://www.mouser.com/datasheet/...171828.pdf
Notice the 7 amp rating at 125v on the page.
I'll grant you that fact. But any legitimate cable from a ISO certified manufacturer will be fine. Which was my point. If you go buy a cable at walmart that fits that plug, it will work.
But yes, you are right. If you order chinese junk without certification, they may have used thinner wire.
