Is the Xbox Brand Simply Weaker Than the Playstation Brand?

Of course Playstation is the bigger gaming brand (over Xbox, not Microsoft of course). However, it'd be silly for them to just quit and accept second place. Competition is usually a good thing for consumers.

It's not about quitting, but more about accepting the reality that they are fighting against a stronger brand

But I do agree that copetition is needed.

I think they already recognise that PlayStation is the stronger brand. So wouldn't it make sense for them to try and overtake them and become the top brand? It's possible, we've already seen PlayStation overtake Nintendo so while it won't be easy there is at least something to fight for.

Usually the challenger wins when there is an X factor. For the PS1 it was the CD rom, for Wii it was motion controls. Do you see an X factor when you look at Xbox One? The answer to that question should help you in your analysis.
