Sony & Microsoft predictions.
At beginning of the "next" generation of consoles.
The XboxOne was a disappointment.
Ps4 was a success.
Fast forward to 2016, Ps4 still a success, Microsoft crawling their way back to the top.
The Xbox one slim should've been what the Xbox one should've looked like from day one!
Ps4 is releasing their Ps4 pro, without warning and months away from release.
Everyone is shocked and disappointed because.
- It was revealed out of no where.
- It isn't going to be released around the same time as the next Xbox meaning it isn't going to be as powerful. It's always all about the "graphics"
- Possible pay for updates.
- It's coming out way too soon.
I remember predicting back when Ps4 was winning.
The only way the Xbox one can come up on top once again is if the next next generation probably 5 years from now is more powerful and better than its rival otherwise they've lost many die hard fans.
Or
If Sony screws it up by releasing the next next generation of consoles too early.
Microsoft doesn't need the Xbox, they can cut everything any time and quit the gaming industry, because they're a software making company they don't need the Xbox.
However Sony, needs the PlayStation, they need to make every instalment a success.
If they pull a Microsoft they can go bankrupted or go back to selling expensive Tvs with the logo "Sony" on it.

Sony was supposed to officially announce it at E3 but tucked their tail when they found out Microsoft was going to announce the much more powerful Scorpio. All people would've talked about was how weak the Pro would be if they had announced it when they originally planned. PS will put something out more powerful than the Scorpio in two or three years, and then Microsoft will do the same. Traditional console generations are dead. Now that the console architecture is so similar to PC, it's much easier and cheaper to do so. Also, neither Microsoft nor Sony are going anywhere unless someone new enters the console market and edges them out. There's plenty of room for the big two. And Microsoft absolutely needs the Xbox. There's more money in it than just the face value console sales. It's used as a platform to supplement Windows 10 and push the Microsoft brand. In a market that's seeing people leave Windows for OSX and Linux in droves, the Xbox brand is huge for maintaining the Microsoft status quo as the quintessential software provider. tl;dr Nothing you said makes much sense at all in reality.
