If sales were about price, how does 360 beat ps3 in some markets and not in others? The price differences are the same in every market.

Also, if xb1 was a hundred dollars cheaper than ps4, I think it would be outselling it because that would basically be a 50% price cut, which is huge. The important thing to understand here, and which rings true to the jimquisition video posted in the OP, is that the xb1 COULD have been 100$ cheaper than the ps4. MS chose to include something that isn't resonating with gamers. MS CHOSE to be more expensive and in doing so they put themselves on bad footing.

MS did this to themselves. They could have launched at 400 or 350 or maybe even 300, but they decided instead to push a proprietary hardware that 33% of the market has since considered valuable.


What you SHOULD have said instead of "price" is "value".
ps4 is selling better because it is a better VALUE.

xb1 at 300$ would have much more VALUE than ps4. It's not the price makes the difference.... as shown by Sony last gen....it's the value.
