At this point no body cares anymore wich console is more powerfull, Playstation simply have all the 3rd party suport in the word and an impressive line up of exclusives. If anyone want to upgrade to Neo or Scropio they will most likely choose the Neo (and if the rumors are tru the Neo launches before the Scorpio wich would be even worse for MS). Most ppl wont bother with neither one of those consoles tough.

With all do respect, the sales gap is 2:1, not 10:1. MS is still a strong competitor and has strong 3rd party support (just look at EA access and every EA game coming out first on X1 as a single example).

 

People said the same about the 360 - everyone and their mates had one, surely the X1 would be the natural 'next step', nope, it reversed. Let's wait and see.

This is not a new generation tough, they are premium highly expensive upgrades to the existing gen, they won't have that big of an impact, not for some years at least. I fully expect the regular PS4 and the Slim XOnes to sell more or at least as much as the Neo and the Scorpio. The userbase Sony has build already guarantees 3rd parties will make sure theire games will run smoothly on the Neo even if it is weaker (think X360 x PS3, the later was more powerfull and if the devs took the time and effort to optmize for it it was evident, however no 3rd party ever did that cause the biger userbase was on the 360) and by the time these 2 consoles launch Sony's lead will be around 2.3-2.5 x 1.

Also the MS shift towards full PC suport makes one wonder why would he buy a Scorpio when he could simply buy a gaming PC with similar or superior specs.
