Nobody is surprised PS4 has a big lead because they have been doing everything right. MS is getting praise because they're making the right moves to be a serious competitor.

Remember when PS3 was doing everything wrong with console price? Well they got praise when they fixed that.

By Whom?
Cause I'm pretty sure the thanks they got for that and having a lower failure rate then the RROD was there network being hacked.

Not to mention nobody said anything, when they shut the servers down and gave everyone free games for it.

Just sayin that history is a bit revisionist.

By the people that bought the PS3 after price cuts.

Massive sales boosts followed price cuts.
