Odd thread.. This gen, competition was low due to slip ups on the WiiU and the XB1.

Xbox spent most of their years restructuring there business model example: Game Pass, Backwards Compatibility and Building and buying Studios.

Nintendo short lived the WiiU due to its failed attempt on the market and moved to the more successful Switch and right now are on fire.

Next gen both Nintendo and Xbox are in a much better light to the public and if they both bring the games next gen than its going to be a debatable argument which console to buy. Minority will buy both or all three however majority will be in talks. You will have your flag wavers and hardcore gamers sticking to their brands but I cannot see people not being tempted in looking at the next Xbox or next Nintendo consoles.. it was a lot easier this gen as Xbox has been holding out on games while Nintendo had to quickly recover and re-enter the market which again are taking it by storm.

Of course its a "Will wait and see" approach but as it stands, all brands have key strengths and if all three brands bring quality games to the table than expect a closer sales comparisons.
