If the next Xbox is better than the Xbox One - which is very likely, because it's such a low bar - many gamers in the USA and the UK will opt for Xbox again, because that's the brand they'd rather buy. The consequence of that is a reduction in PS sales. Nintendo's console is already a known entity and keeping pace with the PS4. This means for the PS5 to win the generation, it has to sell as well as the PS4 at least. That's a tall hurdle when Sony's competitors don't do Sony as big of favors as they did in the previous generation. Sony may execute the PS5 as well as the PS4, but the factors that are out of their control don't and likely won't align as favorably again. |
I'm curious about the bolded part. How did you arrive at this deduction?
