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.

PS not being scared of X1X is bad news for PS owners: PS don't have to try so hard to please their customers now.

Well PS just announced a white Pro model launching soon, so they still are paying attention and making sure they keep their foot down on XB.

Noticed I said not this gen.  People always care about power but right now its not a deciding point anymore.  You have to build back up your brand at some point and coming out with hits instead of misses help along tht route.  If anything MS is looking to claw back some of their fans back to the system.  As for exclusive, I remember the PS3 had this moniker for awhile until Sony changed that story.  Nothing is set in stone in this business.

What moniker did the PS3 have? You mean lack of exclusives?

XB is making sure the performance narrative goes away now, and doesn't come back. Now all they have to do is fix their games problem. New and more first party exclusives are necessary to some degree, and third party exclusivity to XB2, or no exclusivity to any console, is what XB2 needs to accomplish. XB is stopping the leak, and refilling the tank now. Redesigning their ecosystem, especially in terms of games, should happen when XB2 launches. Should happen, but it might not. If XB wants to compete, they will need to though.
