You're assuming that the NX will fail, which based on what we know, is not a safe assumption. I really doubt Nintendo is going to release a console that is essentially the same as a PS4. The comments of executives point to some sort of gimmick which may or may not catch fire. We don't exactly have 3 new consoles coming out. As far as we know so far, we're getting two revisions and one new console. That's a bit different. Surely, these were made with the intention of extending the generation, but that doesn't mean it will work. In particular, if Microsoft keeps falling behind the PS4, then they'll be inclined to begin the next generation earlier, assuming they don't want to drop out of the market outright. We really don't know that much about XBox 12 or Neo. Obviously there won't be huge changes in hardware, but there might be some interesting new software feature. XBox One also has their Hololens thing so we'll see if that helps them gain so momentum. |
Even if the PS4 goes on to sell 140m, I doubt MS would have any issues if say the Xbox One ended up around say 60m.
"Inclined to being the next generation early."
Why? If you ignore the Wii, how many Nintendo consoles have ever sold more than 60m units?
"assumeing they dont want to drop out of the market outright"
wow... You know theres more to a bussiness than just being #1.
As long as MS is able to make money doing it Im sure theyre fine with just reaching say 60m units sold.
I dont think you should get your hopes up for a new console before 7nm technology is ready and affordable.
That probably wont happend before 2019.
