I've been saying for months that they wouldn't. Sony is not interested in winning a holiday pissing contest. They are up YoY, that's the important thing to them. They aren't going to sacrifice potential profits in hopes of defeating a new console in its launch month. This isn't the first time this gen MS has gone all in to win November and possibly December. Sony didn't respond then, unlikely to respond much more now. Now if the Xbox One X unexpectedly revives the Xbox brand and isn't just a temporary improvement, then expect to see a response. But I doubt that will happen. Power was a nice little marketing bullet point for Sony in 2014, but the real reason PS4 has beaten Xbone is the strength of the PS brand, built up by numerous acclaimed exclusives and a very, very wide range of 3rd party relationships that bring in superio variety. The Xbox One X changes none of that.
