This says to me that PS isn't scared of XB1X at all. Weak PS Plus line up for Nov in comparison to the last couple months, no mention of hardware price drops (other than BF), another steady showing of quality (exclusive) games at PGW. Looks like PS just may allow XB1X to have the spotlight for this month anyway, depending on how BF goes.

Sony was never scared of MS period once they gain such a large market share.  X1X never had or was it intended to change the narative of this gen.

After the 2016 E3 announcement of Scorpio, PS seemed at the very least, a little bit shaken up. It wasn't until after they released Pro, that it seemed like they slowly started getting back to their confident PS4 swagger again. Just a case of cold feet I think. Nothing out of the ordinary. Now that Nov seems fairly open for XB1X, it looks like PS is over it and is focused on the future, and mostly it's games.

XB1X was never meant to change the current market share all that much, that's pretty clear based on it's price. What XB1X is intended to do, which is based on it's specs, is to put to rest this 'PS consoles are strong and XB consoles are weak' narrative that has been going on for this gens 4 year period now, that has had the XB fanboys and spec heads in an absolute meltdown.
