No, not if people keep choosing PS4 over XB1. And honestly, I feel its better for the VG industry to have *PS curb stomp MS this gen, and have them exit the home console market*. Why? Because then it forces Nintendo to pay attention/wake up and go after THAT market once again. And unlike the mid 90s, Nintendo & Sony are neck and neck in terms of $$$, Sony is no longer the super brand it once was ( would be much better competition this time around).





*or even Nintendo to exit and become a 3rd party dev, if necessary. I simply am not in favor of a 3 console market, I prefer 2)

bold: how can a company focus on a market "again" when it always focused on it?


You sincerely believe that?  That's like saying a person who's totally devoted to school, and brings home straight Cs on his report card.

Look at all the neg. feedback XB1 is receiving, for being a bit underpowered compared to PS4.  So yes, Ninty being so dramatically underpowered, is not sincerely going after that market or 3rd parties 100% aggressive as they should be. Instead, they came with power that was suitable for them, in their upgrade of Wii (a selfish move & not considerate of upgrading PS360, to go after THOSE fans).  With budget concerns, that gamepad should have been optional, & you already know "THAT MARKET" will not accept underpowered HW.    

I reiterate, if PS maintains dominance this gen and forces MS out, that I believe is the only way for Ninty to wake from their coma, to refocus on power/3rd parties & become that all around competitive console  once again.  With MS out of the way, again, P$ & Ninty are on a similar scale as far as CASH, meaning Sony cannot bully or buy their dominance in that 3rd party market.  Nintendo will not allow Sony to just have that market.   But as long as behemoth MS is in the picture, Ninty will never try to fight that beast, and will always play the humble, efficient little profit maker role.
