Being $100 cheaper will do that.

That is both the fault and problem of Xbox.

$399 and the no DRM effect is what is selling PS4. People still have summer 2013 fresh in their mind and still view MS as a villain. Nothing to do with games at all atm.


ps3 was more expensive had a year lag time and till caught up to the 360. You know why? Sony gave gamers what they wanted. Games. What happened last year would not be pushing the e system as much as its selling.consumers such as gamers have a "what have you done for me lately" mentality.

Sony caught up because the Eastern part of the world ignores Xbox consoles. 



They will need to get rid of kinect and at least undercut Sony by $50. If they don't get rid kinect but lower the price then the loses would be huge. They'd also need to work very hard on developing lots of games of all genres not just FPSs.

PS4 was always in the marathon. Xbone just started late with some stumbles, falls and running in the wrong direction at first.



CPU: Ryzen 7950X
GPU: MSI 4090 SUPRIM X 24G
Motherboard: MSI MEG X670E GODLIKE
RAM: CORSAIR DOMINATOR PLATINUM 32GB DDR5
SSD: Kingston FURY Renegade 4TB
Gaming Console: PLAYSTATION 5

At least they have stopped trying to PR spin numbers like fastest selling console and concentrate on releasing games. With retailer sales and bonuses the Xone has basically been the same price as PS4 here in the states for about as month and still losing and like others have sd Sony really hasnt brought out any of its big games yet except for Infamous. While sales are close in the US MS needs to win decisively here to compete since WW Sony will dominate.

Not trying to get on you. But you said being $100 dollars cheaper will do that. Then went to the Eastern part of the world ignores Xbox consoles. So is it the price or is it becuase the Eastern part of the world ignores XB? And if it was price then why did the PS3 sell more than the 360 or why isn't the Wii U selling more than both the PS4 and XB1?

I think you should just give credit where it is due. The PS4 is currently the more appealing machince in all aspects right now according to the consumers and sales. Doesn't take anything away from the Xb1 because it is still a great system. I jsut get tired of all the different  excuses that are being made instead of just saying good job PS4. It is being cheaper does that, or being released in 13 vs 70 countries effect which both while true are not the sole reasons it is winning. Because outside of what Brazil in EVERY country both are released in the PS4 is selling more and if it was the price and "games" then the Wii U would easily be outselling both but it's not.

I don't know there are somethings that I just don't get I guess. In my eyes both are selling very well compared to their predecessors so they both are fine in my opinon. MS is just in trouble of losing out on Market Share right now.

Outside the UK and US, no other country cares about the X1. Price isn't going to change that, people just don't want it. Even at the same price, the PS4 will do everything better. The X1's big exclusives appeal mostly to the NA/UK audience, it's TV features are pretty much useless outside NA, and it's ridciclous paywalls drive even more people away. Unless it get's a $300 price cut or something, it's not going to do anything outside the US/UK.
