PlayStation and Xbox are not in a 'console war.' They're racing in different directions.

Xbox has a more complex and difficult argument to make. "It's got a great ecosystem" isn't exactly a great sales pitch in a crowded GameStop. But Game Pass already has 10 million subscribers, a solid, loyal foundation for any developing online community. And its xCloud service, which will allow Xbox and Windows players to access their games anywhere via a smartphone or tablet, is already proving to be a robust, stable experience even in its current testing stage. For the moment, Sony has no counterargument.
