You confuse common sense with assumptions.The 360 last generation was selling much better than the PS3, but Sony managed to turn the tides of it, comercially speaking of course.That is an example to show that you can turn the tides of things.But most importanly, Scorpio will be a new generation, by the way Microsoft explained it.They said Scorpio would have backwards compatibility, but never said the other way around would work.And even if it did, then the console would have no appeal at all, since it couldnt use the full potential of the console(or the XOne version would suck to the point that the true version to play is going to be the Scorpio one).By that I mean, Microsoft is going for a new market.And we dont know what the NX is, and we dont know what market it is targeting.

So yeah, if Sony gets cocky because it is winning now, we will have a PS3 situation all over again.

No, that is an example of how SONY can easily turn tides. Simply because they have the stronger lineup. Sony is able to come back from behind because it is the much much stronger brand than Nintendo or Microsoft. And currently they're so much in the lead, it's not even funny anymore. They have the lead, they have the stronger brand. They have been the most successful console manufacturer since they entered the race.

The competors have nothing to beat it. Sony is too far ahead.

LOL

No, it isnt.You could say that NOW they have a better brand awareness than the two of them, but much stronger?No way in hell, especially since Nintendo KILLED Sony and Microsoft last gen.But even in the NOW, Nintendo have much better brand streght.Sony is doing so well now because of mainly two things:First they did all things right.Marketing, third party deals, PR, and so on.Second is that they have all western third party and most japanese third party game go only to PS.So most things that makes them successful arent actually in their control.If Nintendo gets their shit together(And I agree its going to be hard) and gets third party support and japanese support, and supposing that their version arent lesser than the other ones, Sony will have NOTHING on Nintendo.Nintendo IP, brand awareness, nostalgia would just run over Sony in that regard.Sony has some good IPs, but not nearly in the same quantity or quality as Nintendo.

Sony is ahead now, but anything can happen in the next few years.
