Well, Sony kinda DID lose ~70Mil customers with the PS3 while at the same time MS gained over 50Mil customers compared to the OG Xbox. Nintendo may have gained almost 80Mil new customers, but those were mostly casuals (as you guys here have never been tired of pointing out since before the launch of the WiiU ;).

If we assume these customers didn't completely drop out of Gaming it should be pretty safe to assume a not unreasonable of them migrated over from Sony to MS.

I agree with the core of the bolded statement (although it most certainly isn't the majority), not so much with his conclusion.

That doesn't matter, you insuated that without Live on the 360 that it is pretty much the same as the X1 with its DRM policies which is completely wrong and is what I explained.  Also if the X1 and PS4 were both $400 and the X1 had the DRM policies and the PS4 didn't idk how anyone can say the X1 would do fine...You act as if the US and UK markets would buy the X1 no matter what Microsoft tries to do.  Also the issue isn't if the internet is good or not, its having freedom to do what someone wants with what they spend hundreds of dollars on.  I have good internet and I wouldn't go anywhere near the X1 if it still had those DRM policies. 

Did you read the post with an open mind??? So you really think MS forgot about the competition and ignore consumer??? Don't you remember Xbox fan people even getting mad after Xbox did the 180 on DRM. Ask yourself that question, if PS4 was $500 or $600, you think DRM would still be the big story, specially in the US where MS has a much better control over the media??? MS was able to sell to people that the Xbox is cheaper than $600 PS3 which is false after 5 years of XBL. That is the kind of promoting, advertising and media control MS has... Even today you will hear people saying $500 on Xbox one doesn't matter event with 720p graphics.

You  have got to give credits to SONY for doing such a wonderfull jobs, the end of SONY E3 was one of the greatest "Finish Him" (mortal kombat style) I have seen in the gaming industry.

I cant read with an open mind because youre using too many if's.

all im saying is that regardless of the price, the DRM they were planning to implement was always going to be an issue for them.

I know some of its loyal fanbase stuck with them, and they would even if they charged €1000 for the thing and it would have still sold a few thousand units, but that doesnt mean they didnt mess up which is the title of this thread.

LMAO the one mad here is you. I am stating a simple fact. Where else did microsoft get 50+ million more users on their console and how did sony lose the same near exact amount ? How about you answer that. Your the one that should take a break here. This site is supposed to be about sales LOL. If you can't handle those facts then don't show up posting a dumb response to my posts.

LMAO: Sony did not LOSE anything. That's the thing :)
It was the default choice before that.

To lose something you need to earn/win it before...

EDIT: Sorry forgot the LMAO

Did they not lose customers?  Wow, I think the PS3 has been seriously undertracked.

Another dumb/delusional response from you eh ? Y'know what I'm not even gonna respond to that clusterfuck of a post.

*Facedesk*

I hope you realize what you posted was of extreme stupidity.

You already responded :)

Ignore him. He just keeps posting like he's in neverland LMAO.
