Microsoft is already way in decline. You think just releasing another 4K capable system is going to change that? As I stated, Sony will still be successful their numbers will be down. Because the jump from PS4 Pro wont be big enough except for hardcore Sony gamers. Even if the systems are 8K capable, 8K TV’s are years off from being mainstream. By 2020 4K will just be hitting mainstream. Its simple economics and technology knowledge doesnt require evidence. Its a projection based on market knowledge.

So you think the only reason people upgrade consoles is because of resolution?

Also Microsoft did not kill Rare or Silicon, they never even owned Silicon and Rare just released a successful new IP in Sea of Thieves last year.

With a Critic Score of 6.2 and less than a million sales, I wouldn't call Sea of Thieves a success. You are right Microsoft didn't own Silicon Knights, but they did have a Partnership right before they went out of business.
