I was going to choose closer, but ended up picking MS and NiN deserve it, and not because I like seeing them losing or failing either. I did because all it took was for Wii and the 360 to put PS3 in a place where it was still ok, but made it clear PS shouldn't try and fly so close to the sun, because your going to get burned, and could lose your wings.
It also took the Wii U, a poorly marketed, too expensive, out of date hardware, poor third party software console, to make NiN smarten up and realize they need to either build an evolving, all encompassing gaming ecosystem like the PS4 has now, or go the route of Switch. One or the other.
Both PS and NiN clearly learned their lesson, for the most part, and it's paying off. Now we can only assume XB will learn from their XB1 mistakes, and return to their 360 days when XB2 arrives.
Which should hopefully lead to another epic, yet friendly console war.
