and to think all MS had to do was repeat the same winning strategy they had, and release sooner. A 2012 Xbox 1 would have been a game changer.

Sony head to head launching with you is tough to beat.

Indeed, which is why it was such a feat for Nintendo last gen dominating like they did. However, launching at the same price (or worse, more expensive) than a PlayStation, in the same year, has always been an uphill battle for anyone that went that route. This will be Microsoft's 2nd time either coming out with them or launching a year after (the latter of which proved to be a mistake, and like the X1, the original Xbox was also more expensive than the PS2).

Really, Sony hasn't been Microsoft's biggest hurdle for the 8th gen, thus far, it's themselves.

I blame Don Mattrick. His vision had 0 outlook on how it would compete against Sony. Now MS trying to clean up his mess.
