The 10 year plan is wishful thinking at best and so is 100mill sales. This is the first gen where Sony and M$ have released relatively weak hardware. Expect new consoles no later than 2019 (M$ will launch it's next system alongside Nintendo in 2018)

 

 

 

ROFl..no. MS is not launching a console in 2018.

Historically, the typical release between hardware iterations is 5-6 years. If the Xbox One continues it's trend of subpar sales and the PS4 pulls ahead even further, then yes, while continuing to support Xbone they will release a successor before Sony can. You also have to factor in that both companies have launched hardware that is at best mid tier in terms of today's standards. In 5 years both consoles will really begin to show their age.

Sony is never letting MS launch a full year ahead...it's never going to happen, it only happened with PS3 because blu-ray patents held it up. Launching too early  also will only damage the brand. You cannot just keep jumping early in a desperate attempt to be first. It's not happening.

Please do yourself a favour and research what the average release timeframe is between generations of consoles. Historically 5 -6 years. The only reason M$ and Sony got away with 7-8 last gen is because they launched considerably powerful hardware. M$ did launched the 360 early (only 4 years after the Xbox) as a desperate attempt to be first and it paid off by increasing their user base from 20 million to 80 million. You can believe all you want that Sony won't let M$ launch ahead again, but In 4 years from now, I'll make sure to bump this thread.
