It's a short-term success but once you get past enthusiasts and existing fans the thing will struggle. Xbox still suffers in the game department. A system several times less powerful is wiping the floor with it because of a lineup in its first-year miles ahead of a console in its 4th year's lineup. Great for one system and pathetic for the other. New hardware often does well out of the gate but not all have legs.

I kinda feel the xbox division fell into that trap thinking power is everything just because in the beginning of the gen everyone was comparing resolutions and framerates between ps4 n xbox one. The problem is the xbox one was 100 bucks more and at same time it had weaker hardware. Even at 400 bucks without kinect it still was weaker than a ps4 and the perceived value was less compared the ps4.

Microsoft was so tired of loosing in all them Digital Foundry comparisons so they had to top the "half assed" ps4 pro and so they focused on hardware instead of what really matters, games. Just comparing  ps4 2018 lineup to xbox lineup and its looking really spooky especially since none of their games hold any weight.

And this is after 2017 where PS4 had a beast lineup and xbox had the worst year ever.

So yeah i agree with what you said. Switch and base PS4 will wipe the floor with XBOX when it comes to games AND sales this and coming year(s).

MS management said they were focused on bringing the best HW and after finishing X1X they would back their focus to SW. But put that with all the other promises of increasing 1st party, until they really do it.
