Let's enjoy the game experience. PS4 will dominate this gen, live with that X fans. Accept it, it will be easier and less painful. It's silly to look at the micro scenario, 1 week after a price cut, etc... any company going with a price cut and those deals so early is in serious troubles.

Really is that what happened with the PS3? PS3 cut price in July of there launch year. So is XBOX ONE going to be doomed if they do the same and cut price as early as July? Seems many of you don't understand that this is the very beginning of the gen and anything can happen. Took ps3 a long time to catch up but they did.

Numbers from that month. Look XBox One Should pass PS3 numbers by April in aligned launch year.. So to say anyone cutting price and doing deals this early, is also saying PS3 would have never came back and was doomed. Sorry but this argument is getting really old.

Even at $600 and with hardly any games, against a 360 that had already build up a very respectable game library, the difference in weekly sales between the PS3 and 360 was never even close to as drastic as that of the X1 and PS4 is.
|
I believe the key is that the X1 does not have to beat the PS4 in sales, it just needs to sell and make a profit for MS. One of the problems with most posters is that its always about who sell the most, no matter how much it cost a company to gain that marketshare. In reality, its who can sell the most, make a profit and expand their customer base.
In the end, who sales the most is really for the fanboys to wave their corporate banner around. In business, MS want to sell as many if not more than what they did for the 360 gen. The race for MS to accomplish that is just starting.
