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.

Its the same as last generation where the 360 was way ahead of the PS3 at the start, but near the end both systems had similar sales numbers. Now Xbone is behind but in the end they'll catch up to the PS4. I don't understand why people would think that if one console does well the others will go bankrupt, both systems do well and make their company's a lot of money, the only one in trouble at the moment is Nintendo,they are still in the black but are losing momentum fast, if the NX does poorly I will predict they will leave the homeconsole market in its entiretly and focus purely on the handhelds...maybe that is what they are already doing with the NX.
