What you guys still fail to realize that X1 sold only ~10 % less than the PS4 even with a bad reputation, higher price and all that.

The difference is so insignificant that a price cut can make X1 overtake the PS4 in a few months.

It's not like in Europe where PS4 sold 2 times more than Xbox, it's really close.

What you fail to realize is that outside the launch where both consoles sold really close to one another PS4 have been selling more than 50% above X1. Just look at the NPD numbers or even VGC after corrections.

Even in the TF release (bundle 2 games and 50 discount) for 450,00 they still lost with good margin so that should show you that it isn't easy to determine that a 400,00 console only SKU won't do wonders. Well that if you intended to be honest on it, but if you preffer to keep pretending that is your choice.


I was talking only about US, and in US X1 is only ~ 10 % less than PS4 in total sales.

No, the PS4 is leading the X1 by 0.5 million units in the US. The X1 sold about 2.5 million in the US total, so it is selling 20% less than the PS4.

If it wasn't for Titanfall, the X1 would have been outsold 2 to 1 each month starting January. However, even with Titanfall and the $449 at its back, it couldn't outsell the PS4. The Kinect-less SKU will do minimal impact because you get an X1 for virtually $289 ($449 - $100 - $60) with the Titanfall bundle, a hugely better deal than what MS is offering. I can buy a Kinect-less SKU and a game for $459 or get the Titanfall bundle for $449 on top of which I can sell the Kinect for some money now that it will be no longer bundled with every X1.
