Well PS4 was going to sell more anyway once those prices were revealed. Also Playstation had a horrendous start at the beginning of this gen by being $200 and a year late. Both of those advantages are gone for Xbox and the price has actually become a disadvantage which I didn't see coming. PS4 is also more powerful and PS+ is obviously a better value than Live. Also many were not fond of MS's late gen support so they had some bad relations going already. I think MS will now sell more in the US for this gen maybe but other than that I don't see how you do better without having an advantage in the 2 most important areas (games and price). Also 20 exclusives in the first year to 15 is another PS advantage.

Some great points in here, especially the weak end-of-cycle support for the 360 compared to the PS3. I'm not sure why manufacturers aren't aware of some of these basics at times.

Really?? Seems to me there are plenty of great titles coming to both X360 & PS3. As for lack of exclusive midway through this generation... simple... Sony already had tons of in house developers while Microsoft around that same time was in the process of building up their in house studios.

Since 2008 Microsoft has added Press Play, Twisted Pixel, Black Tusk Studios, Soho Productions, Lift London, BigPark, Microsoft Studios Victoria & Microsoft Studios Osaka. That`s at least 8 studios built from the ground up or purchased outright since 2007.

Sony on the other hand during this same timeframe has been shutting down a good chunk of studios but also had tons more considering their one generation head start on Microsoft.
