MS's only issue was price. they won the marlet by offering the same product at a better price. Now with out the added features they had, they are more xpensive with nothing to show for it. I dont thin this will help them any. they would need a price cut to make a difference now.

It finally took the top place from PS4 in Amazom US... the effect from what MS did yesterday was immediaty.


It was already on its way up. I doubt most of the general poopulace knows about the changes after 1 day. When it comes to the US market it really is about price. Given the same products with varying prices american consumers will almost always go with the cheaper one. Its in our nature. Its why we have so many crappy made products. people over here do not care that much, they look at price first and foremost. This goes for just about any product. Its different in other countries, americans do not have much brand loyalty at all (as seen with the ps3 to 360 shift) and will be seen with the shift back to ps4 from xbox one as its cheaper by a good enough margin. Once I saw the price difference I knew MS wouldn't win this gen. With out their uniqness I worry for the system to succeed at all. But we will see. I like MS and hope for the best, but they have left with no reason to buy a new console.
