Just an example senario:
IF PS4 ends up on TOP nextgen and xbox3 ends up 3rd....
I might be wrong BUT I very much doubt xboxfans will say the NEXTBOX is a disappointment because it got trump by a "losser console" from last gen.
Very much doubtful, Im sure xbox fans will cherish and celebrate every bit of good new about it.
specially if does what PS3 is doing now, the top selling console WEEKLY despite being 3rd and only has like a 3m gap from the 2nd place console.
