He's right, but the time was there for the new consoles anyway.

I'm not so sure about that. If the X1 and the PS4 flop what are we going to do ? 

I'm not speaking about flop or not, I'm speaking about power. PS3 and 360 were far behind PCs. Not saying PCs aren't more powerful than ONE and 4, but we needed new systems now. Sales of the current gen systems have been on a decline for a while.

Consumers will determine whether or not a new console was needed. The real test will begin after the holidays.  

As a casual gamer I remain uninterested with the new HD twins. The X1 and the PS4 maybe getting good games but why buy them when I can get it on the PS360.
