Does anyone else remember how last year xbox fans would say that the real next gen fight would be in europe cause the xbox has NA locked already? Oh how the times have changed :D

It would be interesting if PS4 was 499 and XBO was 399, though.

 

No it wouldnt. PS3 dominated Europe even though it came out 1.5 years later than 360, it was 599 euros vs 299/399 360 consoles, inferior ports etc.

PS4 would still dominate Europe if the pricetags changed becoz the situation wouldnt be even half as bad as 2007.

This logic is somewhat faulty though because in 2006 Sony was dominant, now they are not. Each generation is different. We already see that with XBO doing "ok" despite less power and  a higher price. MS never could have pulled that off vs Sony in 2006, in 2006 they would have been destroyed. Remember last gen it was still up in the air if GTA would be Sony exclusive. Now it's unthinkable, as an example how the market landscape changes. In 2005-2006 Micrsoft was a strong underdog, now they are on equal footing.

 

Sony will likely continue to dominate mainland Europe I agree. But mainlaind Europe is not the whole market.

Indeed. But the battle isnt in Europe. Sony brought the battle back to US and UK because Euroope seems to go to PS2 level of sales ratio between platforms. While in US and UK PS4 seems to assume the role of 360, clearly selling better but not being in a dominant position either.
