Have Sony and Microsoft lost their minds?

They are releasing a new console because they don't want to be left behind by the Wii U.

lol Nintendo is on its own. Microsoft HAS to launch because they have no more exclusives left. Sony doesnt have to but they cannot let Microsoft gun for more of their marketshare. Why do you think Microsoft has the marketshare they have this gen? They took a large bite out of Sonys.

How is launching an entirly new system going to give them more excluisves than they previously had?

Lets see, because thats where all of their core studios development has been focused for the past two years, which is the obvious cause of the gaming drought for the past two years on the 360. E32013, mark my words. Microsoft doesnt want to launch a new IP late in the gen, they would rather it be in the beginning and then cut off support as the gen winds down. They aren't full on like Sony having exclusives all year. One would think people noticed this after the first Xbox. They will launch a couple of exclusives, then when the games cant sell the console they'll finish up on the new Kinect and let that hold them over again.
