Sony is becoming too cocky with their anti consumer tendencies and even refusing to attend E3 this year, I think Microsoft can capitalize on that and have a better head start with the release of the next gen Xbox. I think this is is very likely to happen as Microsoft learnt from their great mistakes and are ready for a strong come back, whilst Sony is enjoying being on top and hence becoming too arrogant. 

What do you think?

Every other microsoft console sells poorly. Every sony console sells well but every third sells the least well. As long as they get the names of the consoles right (not ps6 or xb cubed, as some companies can't count to 10 without skipping a number) they will tie eachother.

We should probably wait until the consoles are revealed before jumping to any conclusions.

You heard it here folks, releasing great games is anti-consumer.

Yeah, not happening. MS themselves are already laying the groundwork with xcloud to be on other systems if they fail next gen.

Really, all Sony has to do is come out with a powerful piece of traditional HW, priced reasonably and with at least PS4 B/C, and they pretty much have next gen on lock. They'll already have EU on lock, as well as Japan when considering just MS. The best MS can hope for is NA and a handful of countries. But, even if it wins them, it wouldn't be anywhere near as much as they won them with the 360.

PS5=PS2 ,thats what i think! :p

Apparently the Google titanium is revealed in ten days.

Not sure. Phil spencer has already said it’s no longer about console sales but rather giving consumer as more options to consume Xbox games by putting GamePass on other platforms.

This post seems a little troll-y :/

Could you at least clarify on what you mean by Sony being anti-consumer? They're slowly but surely opening up to Cross Play, and I really don't see how they're being arrogant. They're working hard to continue making PS4 better, while developing quality AAA exclusives that people enjoy. I also believe the reason they're not attending E3 is because they have much bigger plans, with this year being the 25th anniversary of PS.

If I were to share my opinion on which one of the big 3 is being anti-consumer, it's Microsoft. Yes, they've got the hardware on lock for now, but their games output has been mostly subpar these last few years, and they're attempting to justify it with GamePass. I mean heck, there's no denying they lied pretty hardcore about Crackdown 3, with the tech demos that we were shown in 2014/15 vs what was delivered at launch in 2019. MS just doesn't have the mindshare right now, and it'll take Sony making some serious mistakes for MS to have the same upper hand that they had with 360.

I don't think Sony has any intention of making the same mistakes they made during the PS3 that cost them countless billions last gen. I'm pretty confident that if Sony releases well rounded PS5 hardware that supports BC with at least PS4, continues to expand on PSN, and continues to bring out their hard hitting exclusives, then they'll be just fine next gen.

this thread seems about 22 days early.

Just no, Sony would need to have an X1 reveal at E3 level of fuck up for the next Playstation system to tank below the next MS machine out of the gate. I've said it so many times now, MS currently have the most powerful console by a country mile, what use is new hardware going to be if it's going to be just more power, power without software is pointless.
