| RolStoppable said: The OP is too much about arranging data points to fit a conclusion. At its most basic level, the OP is about as pointless as writing the same thing about the 3DS. When the competition has committed so many suicidal mistakes in either case, then the victory is more a matter of "win by default" instead of a win by effort. Beyond that, Scorpio is the next generation Xbox, because it doesn't merely feature a refined CPU and GPU, but an entirely new chipset. Nintendo Switch is obviously next generation as well. Therefore Sony has won the home console side of generation 8, no matter what kind of scenarios you come up with for Scorpio and Switch. The PS5 isn't far off either. A 2018 launch should be expected at the current state of things. |
That's quite ridiculous to think that Sony just won by default. To suggest that would make it seem that Sony has been lazy since launch, just getting by on others mistakes, when in fact the exact opposite is the truth. Good decisions and games, as well as brand strength, have made them the lead console BY FAR for 3 out of 4 gens. I mean Sony screwed up just as bad last gen as MS did this one, maybe even more, yet they were able to almost fully recover by the end of the gen. Something MS can't do this gen, regardless of throwing money and firesales at the problem. They aren't going to match, and then surpass, the PS4 later this gen, like the PS3 did to the 360. Nor will they even come within ~15M of the lead platform, like the PS3 did, as well.
There's much more to it than just the other guys screwed up.
