EDIT: Wow, I just spent 45 minutes writing a detailed explanation of why ms is more likely to ditch the box sooner than sony is and vgchartz ate it.
Long story short, x1 pacing is really slowing down. ps4 is in a very very healthy position right now with very little competition. Outpacing ps3 by almost double and actually making a profit on hardware, which is likely increasing with every console they churn out (based on economy of scale). This is the opposite for MS. Though they are likely making a profit on each box, the costs involved are eating up their revenues.
It makes more sense for MS to change tactics than to continue drinking at a drying up well. Sony on the other hand is not in that position.
That's the gist of it.
EDIT2: I do wholeheartedly agree that the future is a livingroom without a box. However, Sony is more in the position to keep the box for now while they work on other things. And MS is more in the position to transition early.
