Funny all these threads with people saying xbox is doomed. However PS3 was doing horrible during the first 8 months, they cut price and came back. So all the Chest pounding is funny, people have very short memories.
XBox One can come back and be very successful. I think they need to price match personally but that's me. I think they will do so in fall of this year if sales don't pick up.
PS3 cut price 8 months after release or in July of 2007. Xbox One is in better shape then the ps3 if you align the launch.

XBox at it's current state is 2.5 million ahead, Yet we get non-stop DOOM threads, chest pounding and conversation about the war is over. This war has just begun my friends.
Sony proved that cutting price and pushing the system in new ways, not only turned them around but got them back in the race. Same will happen with Xbox, they have the money and room to do so. Sony PS3 at launch was losing money, XBox One is making money at 500$. If they cut price in the fall, they will lose for only a short period of time. Most will be made back in XBOX live account memberships or games. So if XBox is desperate, so is Sony.
No clear winner until years from now.
