Based on the comments I am reading.....seems even when MS gives great deals:

X1 2014 ($499 cut to $399 with deals) = Desperate

PS3 in 2007 ($599 cut to $399) = The Mother Theresa of generiousity

A look on history according to our local PS Historians.

To be fair, the only $399 PS3 sku available in 2007 was the 40gb model, which was gimped down from the premium model. The situation here is kind of different. Not to mention 360 was still cheaper. 

Nice try. Love the double standards. It's not idenitcal, actually worse for the PS3 in 2007. The $399 PS3 was identical to everything the $600 PS3 offered with the exception of less storage space. Storage space that definitely wasn't needed in 2007. Xbox One removed a significant accessory/peripheral, which allowed it to lower the price.  

Desperation was Sony in 2007 and they turned it around in the following years. Exactly what's going to happen to Xbox One. This is a 7 year marathon, not a 7 month sprint.
