No. Going by that logic ps3 should have lost last gen completely. Price just means initial sales leading up to the price cuts, it's the latter support and development that can turn the tides easily. Also would be stupid to rule out Wii U, with nintendos monstrous first party.

+ prior to ps3 launch it was hailed as the second coming of Jesus set to dominate the competition, people need to learn that just because they wish it to be so, doesn't necessarily mean it will happen, or will be forced to eat crow again.

I have a feeling the X1 will still take the US by a small margin.

I do feel that Microsoft have lost the UK though due to the price. £430 is...... a lot of money over here. Throw in a game and a year of xbox live and it's well over £500 (we get sh**ty Live prices over here compared to the US). It's just so expensive over here....

I honestly think MS should have just taken a bit of a hit and made it £399 in the UK. At least it keeps it under that psychological £400 barrier over here. Mind you if they are going to have supply issues and sell out anyway, maybe it really doesn't matter in the short term.

People need to stop with the argument that since Xbox 360 couldn't win last Gen with everything going for it then it will get crushed this Gen. No the fact is Microsoft took half of Sony's marketshare. The PS3 is not PS2 so you are delusional if you think things will go back to what they were 10 years ago. The Xbox brand is as big or bigger in the US. Microsoft won't be at a price disadvantage too long if they see too much of their marketshare dwindling. PS4 may win but the Playstation brand isn't what it used to be. Xbox is just as big of a brand in developed countries. It will be a close race.

this post isnt exclusive in its pointlessness

Going by the logic of price, I would say that the Wii U would be the best selling.

I agree PS4 will outsell XBone this gen. However, people spewing Brand power are delusional. A brand's power or awareness can change. Look at Sony with PS1 and PS2, US at that time was considered Sony land. Sony messed up early last gen and it cost them. MS took advantage of those mistakes and grew there brand. In today's world, it's not about what you did yesterday, it's about what your doing today! That's why I think the US will be closer this time around and not a guarantee W for MS. The Halo helmet will only take you so far.

Heres a fact that is largely overlooked:

The 360 launched alot cheaper than the PS3, it launched one year earlier and it had plenty of japanese support at the beggining. And despite all that and despite beeing more expensive the PS3 is now surpassing the 360.

The Xbox1 will have none of those advantages. Sony got arrogant with the PS3 but they had a 2 generation winner brand behind them. The Xbox has a 50/50 winner brand behind them. They got arrogant and they really had no room to do that.

The Xbox1 will be about as big as the original Xbox. We are looking at another PS2 like generation in my opinion.
Unless of course, microsoft gets real desperate and starts taking huge losses on the Xbox1. They need to be cheaper to have a chance against the PS4.

Your logic fails in 1 point: games.

lowest price + games.

Now which console offers the most best sellers is up to be seen, being best seller a game that sells a lot of hardware, not the games "hard core gamers" name as best seller.
