The XBox360 released a year before the PS3 and that worked out pretty well for them. The main problem with Dreamcast was not the release date. It was that Sega was out of money and couldn't afford to stay in the console business. Microsoft is not going to have that problem. Releasing this year would have been a good idea. |
The big reason they did so well last gen is because the PS3 was $200 more expensive than the 360 and the PS3 had such complicated HW that it took devs awhile to get used to it, resulting in inferior multiplats for the first year or so. Scarlett will be going against a PS5 with most likely the same price and possibly a little more power, which will be on display at launch.
If MS launched this year, they may have been able to drop the price by $50 in time for the PS5's launch, but there would have been a much larger power difference. In that scenario, there is no question that Scarlett would have fared much worse than the XBO.
