Ed Fries, Microsoft's former vice president of game publishing, says the Xbox company won't be able to close the gap. Partially blaming this on the bungling of the Xbox One launch and marketing, he believes the winner of the console wars to already be evident: "I think it’s PS4 by a nose."
He is quick to point out that there are a lot of changes going on for the Xbox, slashing prices and an emphasis on core games as opposed to the general audience to which they originally focused their products and services.
Fries says that the market could see a shake up with the launch of VR and AR accessories, although it's difficult to see a peripheral making a difference, considering the history of attach rates, as well as the additional expense after a large initial investment.
