There will never be a time when 2 systems are going to come out on the exact same date and go head to head, 1 on 1. The reason is simple. One system always wants to go that step further and unless they know what the other person is doing then they won't put it on the shelf.

Another reason is that microsoft will never release on the same date as Sony Plastation (new consoles that is) because ps just has more of a fan base and if you put the 2 new systems side by side at the cash register with the same things inside the machines (hardware that is) and the same price tags with the same games people are going to buy Playstation. Why? FAN BASE. Everyone knows PS is around to stay at least for the next 10 years, microsoft, although is getting it right for the most part, may not?

Microsoft has to release a new system a year or 2 later then the playstation just so that people will buy it for the novelty and hope for good games. Sony has proven themselves twice already, xbox has just began to scratch the surface.
