@OP:
They'll help MS and Sony to avoid that Nintendo's lead furtherly widens, maybe even partially fill the gap, but it won't change the current situation where Sony and MS this gen can only fight for 2nd place. Not a failure, if their true expectations are realistic, but not even a memorable victory, if they succeed. Anyhow, they must try and at least limit the damages, they cannot be left so much behind anymore. The best Sony and MS can probably achieve is that this gen Nintendo ends 1st with ~40-45% and they end around 30% each, with little difference between each other. I'm meaning WW, MS will still keep a strong lead on Sony in USA and Sony a strong lead on MS in Japan and a smaller one in EU.
