Good number for XBO, 908k for a $500 console is very impressive. Plus it shows that the next gen battle for the US isn't going to be easy. I'm eagerly awaiting on PS4 and WiiU.

Honestly I'm starting to think if MS can get to relative price parity or even within $50 soon, they can start to take it to Sony in the US. 

US = XBox Land. Sony's brand has fallen a lot in the US, XBox is the defacto brand for hardcore gamers now. 

It's too early to say that now. XBO isn't going to drop the price too quickly like the WiiU did, they're not in that state of desperation yet. And keep in mind that the PS4 was completely out of stock in December so we don't have a clearer picture of demand yet. If history has taught us anything,  is that brand loyalty means very little for consoles in the US. Look how quickly people switched from Nintendo to Sega, then back to Nintendo, then over to Sony, and then to Microsoft.
