With the 360, MS aimed to get the jump on PS3, releasing a year earlier and therefore ending up in a good position to capitalize on Sony's 2006 blunders and eat into their marketshare.
With Xbox One, they released almost simultaneously with PS4, but the tables were turned and it was Sony who were able to take advantage of MS's 2013 hubris and reclaim some of the marketshare lost in the 7th gen.
Then, with Xbox One X, they let PS4 Pro go first, then took a year to prepare their answer to it.
With the PS5 and Project Scarlet on the horizon, which approach do you think would be best for Microsoft to take; to try to get a headstart on PS5 by releasing first, to release simultaneously, or let PS5 go first so they can then formulate a response?
