I think XBOX's impact is overstated. It will be well received by the US, but it still won't gain Microsoft much more market share than they have. It's a $500 console with less brand strength than Sony and no unique selling points like the Switch.
PS5 can wait. I think Sony is done with losing money on consoles, and Mark Cerney specifically said they believe in the large leap model of releasing consoles. If anything, this will be a longer generation as it has a stop gap filled with the Pro. I bet we won't see a PS5 until holiday 2020. And it's probably going to be substantially nicer than PS4.
PS. I just noticed that you can spell XBOX out of Xbox One X by taking the XB from Xbox (was done with the old one), the O from the One, and the X. Is that deliberate?
