If Phil weren't up against two systems, you'd probably have a point. I honestly don't think he anticipated Sony unveiling two consoles. That was an unexpected curve ball, I think. You noticed he hasn't unveiled the Series S yet or even hinted at it. Which leaves me to believe he wanted to give the impression that only one system would be launching the market (Series X) and of course Sony would also only have one system as well. It is the perfect bluff.......if only it had gone that way.
It's easier for two systems to corner one system into a pricing war since you could be very agile price wise and still penetrate the market comfortably as one system could easily offset the other's losses. I feel like this is where the power difference came from.
ya make it sound like the series x needs a whistle
