Which doesn't matter at all, since N or MS can "start the next gen" whenever they want by launching another console. What matters for the company is: how much money does their game line make (Sony'll make more than MS in the vast majority of years, as in the past....MS might win one year out of 5 when Sony happens to take a loss for its new gen), and for gamers it's a matter of: how much fun did you have and what value did you receive (did the manufacturer put out a crap product that often breaks, did you have to pay for online play, how laggy was online play and could devs try a lot of different formats with online play, did you have to shell out extra for wifi, does your console play HD movies on the winning side or the losing one, how long will the console be around with a very large stable of good games, etc)
