I think competition is good for gamers, and any dominating Company will 'force' the other to react and do something more. Mark my words, this generation will be fantastic, both PS4 and Xbone will deliver a great game experience. Don't be so obsessed by selling numbers. PS4 will be the most popular machine, ok, it will sell more, a lot more in the Global, but it's good to see the reaction of MS, the price cut in UK, Bundles with free Titanfall, and other good deals will come, and I hope more effort in delivering fresh AAA titles and new IPs.

Let's enjoy the game experience.

YEah the price cuts and budles with their flag ship is definitly good for the gamers. But for the company it's really terrible. They are here to make profit, not to give away stuff. But competitition is definitly good for a healthy market.

well, I agree with you, MS lost money with those moves, and though the Company is rich, nobody like to lose money in any business; the XBox brand is very important for MS, but it must be profitable.  But I still think that MS really had to do those moves, PS4 was selling twice as much as One in the global, the situation was a bit critical.    MS tried their move with this One with Kinect included in all box, and sell this 360 degrees entertainment system, they couldn't know that it wouldn't have had that success they were expecting.  The result in front of most gamers was a weaker and more expensive hardware, that's all.

Also, many many gamers were expecting more from One, most of all considering how much brilliant was the 360; yes, the 360, released 1 full year before the PS3 in NA and Jap and 16 months before in Europe, was roughly as powerful as PS3, but easier to develop for and by far a more balanced piece of hardware, and by far cheaper !!!  And what you have now ? After the beautiful 360 ??  A weaker, harder to develop for, more expensive package because MS wanted to put this Kinect into all boxes and try to keep the price enough competitive... ok, they tried, as I already said; they couldn't know, but I might say MS had something like the 'lack of good vision' when they conceived this One. Just my opinion.
