Great. Now people can finally see that it's not the price holding the X1 back.

So what is holding it back? 

Best ask its detractors. Also all the people that switched from 360 to PS4.

Bad press and some bad press, sprinkled with a bit bad press, dropped in a pile of bad press. Did I miss something?

Technical inferiority. There are spec whores out there and the choice this generation is very easy for them: PS4

Tech whores are an even smaller minority than PC gamers. They might dominate the very early sales but after that they're irrelevant.

I should clarify. Tech whores includes people who buy the console with the best performing multiplats. So that's less of a minority than straight out "buy the thing with the biggest numbers" people.

People should also not lose sight of the fact that PS3 ended up outselling Xbox 360 and taking a year less to do it. And price and technical performance for multiplats was in Xbox 360's favour. So quite why people think mere price parity between Xb one and PS4 can make a meaningful difference globally is hard to fathom. USA yes, everywhere else not so much.
