Unless MS drops the price of the console to like $249 next year or Sony stops making the PS4 then yeah this generation is pretty much set. Which is not a bad thing it is not like the XB1 will not sell well because I personally think it will the PS4 will just sell better. So no big deal either way in my book...

Actually no this gen is not set.  Both companies can stumble or screw up.  Both companies can have misses on games they bring out that are exclusive to the system or they can have huge AAA success.  The transformation of each console over the years could also make a difference how both are perceived.  Nothing is set in Stone and neither company has shown that they cannot F up and allow the other to gain momentum.

 

As for the deals MS is doing now, this is just Holiday positioning since these 2 months can be larger than the majority of the year.  MS has to make a big push and they are coming out with guns blazing.  Sony is in a position of strength so they can be more conservative.  It's pretty simple, the dominate player has more options while the other must make every move possible to continue growth and momentum.  This was no different Last gen when MS was on top.
