Yes probably. But it makes sense. PS4 is 100 dollars less, MAN!

The X1 is great from what I have tried and seen at kiosks. The price is just killing it.
Although I will say that both it and PS4 are sold out in most areas on a regular basis. But that does not say much since the Wii U is as well....but I think that is just because retailers are not ordering anymore.

Yeah. Nintendo is not even considered by many people in the console war. Who would have thought they will be in this situation after the success of wii?

Not if you count the success of the wii an anomaly. Nintendo did blow 3 ou 4 consoles comercially.

Nintendo is not seen as a part of the console war because they don't directly compete with Sony and Microsoft. Sony and Microsoft compete directly to make the people who will buy the next GTA, Fifa and Call of Duty get it in their console, and not the other one. They compete to make people choose their console and no the other one for the multiplats.

Nintendo is almost like a parallel market, with different games. Their philosophy has always been that consoles should be made of mainly exclusive games, otherwise it just becomes an issue of cheapness and power. Now Sony is beating Microsoft mainly because PS4 is 100 dollars cheaper, and last gen Microsoft grew from 25 million units to 80 million units because PS3 was so expensive in itsa first years.
