Of course it is. Nobody wants the Xbox 180, after Microsoft lied about DRM, cloud, Kinect, Dead Rising 3, Ryse, and backtracked after losing in sales. Nobody wants a weaker yet more expensive console with a laggy UI.

Microsoft is still playing catch up by copying the PS4. They just revealed a new controller with a 3.5 mm headphone jack after trying to charge early adopters for a proprietary headset adaptor. Xbox One is on life support.

“There would be nothing better, from Sony’s perspective than getting a supposed PS5 onto the market as quickly as possible.”

Except for people who bought the PS4 wouldn’t be to happy that their console would be worthless so soon.

“strong market share in many countries outside of Europe. I think we’re almost approaching an 80% market share of next generation in many of these territories”

A very misleading statement.
Notice the use of the word “THINK”, so it’s not fact is it.

It’s very easy to claim a big market share country’s OUTSIDE of Europe and of course the USA simply because it requires such a small amount of sales in many of those country’s.
Take 5 poor country’s and sell 1,000 ps4s to date compared to 200 Xbox Ones and you have that claimed 80 percent.

“Despite that claim, at the same event, House talked at length about how his company was having problems getting exclusives from 3rd party developers that are only offered on the PS4”. My thoughts exactly. People luv mentioning sales, but they forget that exclusives still require money! Both Microsoft & Sony do deals each yr or 2, with a BUDGET! Sony cannot just call up any studio & have them sign an exclusive deal, without cash, making up for that 12+ million Xbox potential sales. If we’re talking 40-60 million units lead of the PS4, that’d be different.

Now in Japan, Sony’s market dominance really does pay off there imo. I think they had Destiny exclusive, and I’ve been hearing Batman will be too don’t know. Other than that tho, I don’t see their lead buying them things like Fallout 4, ME4, Star Wars etc., without a huge financial promise. Not saying Microsoft wouldn’t be shouting from Redmond about their lead if they had one too, they would, but I’d be one hardcore fan to be screaming about sales without an obvious benefit from it as a gamer.
