Everything in this discussion could be answer if this simple statment:

XOne is 25% more expensive than the PS4 and its selling 20% less units on the USA.

-------------------------------

But then people will call out the bundle and the limited time disconts... well so be it.

The fact is that as long as the Xone is more expensive than the competition it won´t outsell then, unless there are many significant advantages to do so.

However, Sony can´t just seat on the montain of PS4 sold and do nothing to improve the system and ad features to the console.

PS3 has never ever been cheaper than Xbox 360, yet PS3 outsold 360, even with the year head start. Your argument is invalid.


Not in the USA.

In the last, let´s say, 3 years the 360 outsould the PS3 in every but one month in the USA, September last year with the GTA V bundle and cross marketing.

Besides, the PS3 had many advantages over the 360... it has BluRay disc, Multplay was free and later had free games with PSN+...

My argument is rock solid.

If you want to limit things to the US, sure. But the PS4 is outselling the Xbone everywhere else, as did the PS3 over 360. And you're making the argument that XBone needs to drop the price because being more expensive means it will never outsell the competition. And to deflect the fact that the PS3 was more expensive and outsold the competition, you say "it had advantages. Blu ray, free online, etc." What about the XBone's suppposed advantages? Kinect, snap, TV stuff via HDMI in, XBL being "superior", SmartGlass integration, etc. Do "advantages" not matter now? Your argument is flip flopping more than a fish out of water.

Can't have your cake and eat it too.
