It's going to be a very long 19 months for MS, assuming the next gen Xbox arrives holiday 2020; there's really nothing that can be done for Xbone at this point, it's a sinking ship, but they are stuck with it until they can get a successor out...
colafitte said: XBO is so dead that i still believe XBO won't reach 50M before their successor comes in 2020 (even if it comes in holiday 2020). Considering that, as time passes, i won't be surprised if Microsoft prefer to launch their next console during March 2020 to have an advantage against PS5 launching on the holiday season. |
...but on the other hand, being out March 2020 poses a big risk of letting Sony get the upper hand by being able to tailor PS5 to counter what Xbox Two offers.

A lot of people are. There's even a term for it: The Osborne Effect. Though, that pertains specifically to announcing your new product too soon and killing sales of your current one. But the new product being confirmed ALWAYS has an impact. |
PS5 was always "confirmed", we always knew there would be one. I don't think it'll start having any significant effect on PS4 sales until they actually properly reveal the thing.
