Post NPD fallout: The central question imo is if a X1 that was cheaper than PS4 would outsell PS4

A $400 XBO will outsell PS4. Everyone I know with a X360 is waiting for a price drop and worthwhile games. There is no need for a hard price drop, they are selling very well at the current price point. A $349 XBO would outsell PS4 even more, but a drop for PS4 to $349 would even out sales. I have a feeling this gen will turn out much like last gen unless one system does/has something that makes a great difference(no not the difference between 1080 and 900p people dont notice that shit unless you are a gaming loser) there wont be much of a market shift.

Buddy there was bundle for 450 with TF and one years of gold, add subtract and X1 price was 340.  Still got sparked by PS4 in NA sales wise. 

There already was a massive market shift when PS4 took a small majority of US market comapred to last gen.

Whatever makes you sleep better at night. A multiplatform shooter xbox gamers can play is $40-$60 vs a $340 for the same game with a console that has next to no worthwhile games. I expect PS4 to sell as well as the $400 PS3. I expect X1 to sell as well as $500 360 sold. Dealer specific deals dont mean too much, I didnt know about the deal and I visit Target and Walmart(the only major retailers in my area) once a week so Im not sure when this deal happened(not that I doubt that it did) so Im sure plenty of other people didnt know/access to it. There was not advertisement for the $400 X1 or whatever price it was. The overall price drop will spur sales because people see it as a price drop as a drop to 350 for PS4 would result in a overall raise in sales. Remember PS3 vs 360 same thing flipped around.

@Italics:

Remember PlayStation != Xbox

simple math tells you that as long as Playstation is outselling Xbox every month (except december, 3/4 go figure) thats is a month that the xb1 would have to outsell the PS4 and sell more than the PS4 outsold the XB1 by just to be able to catch up.

The PS3 was selling a lot after its launch failure only to barely catch up with the 360 in the end.
