That's true from a third party support standpoint, if only because developers are already too invested in both platforms to drop either of them. Even if the Xbone were to tank, it would be an early life PS3 situation where it's similar enough to the competing console that it's able to piggyback off of the fact that they're essentially treated as one SKU.

On the other hand, I see a lot of value in Microsoft taking a serious drubbing. Not only for all the terrible policies that they were forced to walk back, but also for the ones they've continued with - namely, cramming $60 retail titles with mobile game levels of IAPs. Fuck that shit. If that's the future of console gaming, I hope all third parties do go mobile.
