Hard to be aggressive when a lot of sources basically say the same thing. They should just keep quiet about power, like they did with the 360. Even though it was weaker, the PS3 didn't just completely destroy it. Despite the bigger advantage for Sony this time, they should just pump out those games and let all else be.


Exactly.

Has there been a case of a less powerful system outselling a more powerful one at a higher price point?

Good question. Wasn't the PS2 more expensive than the GameCube? 

Someone has to look into this.  It is tricky.  I would also have to speak about the context of at launch.  What you see is people say "the most powerful system never wins" without the context of price of system also mentioned.  I have to wonder if there is a case of the most expensive system ever selling the most.


The PS3 was more expensive than the 360, it only took Sony 7 years... so it´s not far fechted the possibility that the Xbox One could out sell the PS4.

The adds barely haven´t started yet.

More expensive AND less powerful, the way the ONE is. That is the question.  And it would also have to fit into the life of the console, start from day one.  Companies don't slash prices of their systems if they are outselling their competitors.  So the case is to find an example of some console that was less powerful and more expensive, winning the sales war at the higher price point.


Again: What powerfull means? 

I won´t bring the smartphone analogy again. 

The PS3 had for years shitty multplat games. And even the first batche of exclusive games were lackluster. Well, Uncharted 1 was buggy as hell and serius frame, pop-up performance issues.

This is the power people SEE not power people BELIVE.

One the otehr hand the PS3 has more expensive but had a hard drive and a BluRay driver. That was a huge sell point for a lot of people. This is the value that people can SEE not BELIVE.

Nothing is decided, everething is possible.
