Sony has no arrogance right now. There was literally no reason for Sony to drop the PS4's price when it is having record breaking sales at its current price.

Microsoft also didn't have a choice, had they not desperately lowered the price, Sony would have likely doubled their sales...



AceRock owns one PS3, one PS Vita, and one PS4.

The most arrogant thing Sony could do this holiday is congratulate Microsoft for XB1 sales.

Sony as is cannot afford to do price cuts, they aren't exactly a company that is in the clear with everything green, they need all the money they can get after they sold off those two HQ's and other assets they are still trying to shed.

Well, MS was in a critical situation and they had to make critical moves, very aggressive price, bundles; why Sony should do the same after winning 10 NPDs in a row and crushing their competitors in the Global ?

I can't believe some people still didn't get this...

You're too short sighted. Sony gave MS one month out of the year outselling them by 400K and you forget that Sony owned them collectively throughout the year.

Sony were more interested in profits by the looks of it and it obvious PS4 made a bigger profit than XB1 because XB1 was so cheap. While it has cost them some sales they will be happier with the money they've made.

I don't think they've lost out too much anyway, MS dropping XB1 to cheap would've mainly brought forward some future purchases while more people will still be waiting for PS4's price to drop.

Not at all. MS had to go heavy with the bundles and price cuts; It was bound to happen, perhaps Sony countered a little bit too late but at the moment, if I were looking to upgrade to next gen, the PS4 official bundles are far more appealing than what MS is offering with XBO.

Being beat by 7-10k isn't ain't worth braging about. MS shouldn't want to brag.


I think that has been debunked?

Isn't sales like 1.2m to 800k.


still not impressed with a 400k lead. ok it's closer to a dominate performance, but Sony came swing back on BF so where is the 1's staying power? we'll see next yr, and throughout dec i supose.

 

sup Ace lol.

Is there any official confirmation about 1.2M for X1 ?  I don't think so. It was a rumor this morning(GMT+1); did we have any confirmation after ? I still think X1 is around 1M and PS4 around 800k.

I dont know what this Sony "arrogance" is. As far as i know that was something Ken Kutaragi brought, but he left long ago. I dont see any arrogance on current day Sony. I see business decisions.

We are yet to see what the repercussions of this temporary price cut will be on sales of the X1 next year.
