Should Xbox End their Generation Early?

Xbox has a lot of problems like now - this will just be adding more to it.

Are you working on three tiers balancing between the low of the S and the high of the "next"? Are you separating your base by making exclusives to the "next"?
And what happens when the PS5 or Pro comes out?

yeah, I think so. I don't see how starting next gen works for them outside of perhaps the US market. The brand is a non-factor in Asia and now also in EU, and launching sooner isn't going to do anything to help them, especially if Sony follows with a more capable PS6 afterwards.

I think it would be a good idea. It worked out well with the 360. With their huge lineup of 1st party games, CoD marketing, and Game Pass, they could release a console witj games that would be hard to ignore by the masses. Following the cadence of PlayStation hasn't worked in their favor last gen or now. Switching it up seems like a good move. If xbox can gain some momentum and positive word of mouth before the ps6 releases, that will be much more important than having a slight power advantage. 

They're being ignored quite blatantly in EU, which is where they should be experiencing growth. I mean anything could happen since they obviously have the ingredients to make an early next gen move work. But it's more than the hardware and games, because ultimately, they'll be launching at a period where the PS5 could arguably be getting a bunch of 1st party big hitters.
