So you're basically telling us that,
XBOX One is gonna outsold PS4 in USA because of this pricecut?? (if this debundle did consider as pricecut),
and the main reason is,XBOX360 was dominated USA in Gen 7,
well,just my 2 cents,PS2 dominated the whole world including USA in Gen 6,
and guess what happened to PS3?

The main reason is that X1 only sold 10 % less than PS4, and that X360 is very strong in USA.

X1 also sold more software in US than PS4.

You can keep saying that the X1 only sold 10% less a billion times, but the fact is that the X1 has been outsold by 20% (3 million PS4 vs 2.5 million X1). To continuously use VGC numbers when they have been shown to be widely inaccurate shows your huge reluctance to accept the cold hard facts. A $399 Kinect-less SKU isn't going to save the X1. It's a ripoff deal in comparison to the Titanfall bundle and it will be stigmatized with the fact that it's significantly less powerful than the PS4 at the same price.

To be fair, he's been quoting how much less of PS4 it is... which is a slightly different figure. In the case of 3m vs 2.5m, it is 16.6% lower than PS4 sales. However, this is a convenience tactic because you should be looking at the % required by X1 to improve.

The reason for this is simple; theoretically, if PS4 continues it's trend of sales and (on average) continues the gap, X1 have to increase their own sales by 20% before they even match PS4. To start to even catch that 0.5m lead - which may extend to 0.75m by June - they need to improve their own sales by over 20%. To catch and outsell PS4 by the end of 2014, they're going to have to improve their own sales figures by over 40%.

I don't believe it. I really don't.
