This will be a short gen if Sony really wants to run away with 1st place.

Nintendo/MS can easily decide to "flip the board game" by jump-starting a new gen, like 360 did in 2005.

At the rate PS4 will succeed and continue to gain ground, I can see this gen ending as early as 4 more years.


MS cannot just start a gen when they feel like it nor will sony ever allow them to get a full year on the market before them again. Publishers, consumers must be ready to move to a new gen before MS can. They need industry publisher support to do it. lets not forget ps3 was delayed due to bluray patents..that is  the only reason ms had as much time to themselves, not happening again.

 

Either way what would they give them? Sony won't launch at 599 and be a screw up again, which is more the reason why 360 gained ground, not the full year ahead. They would allow sony an extra year to improve their system and be more powerfull again. It won't help. maybe concentrate on why xbox falters instead of rushing to market only to lose again.  Like improve their standing in europe and have a more diverse first party portfolio, and try to have a Worldwide push instead of being so american focused.
