...but consoles are about games and ps4's library is massively bigger and more diverse.

Consoles sell to a much larger audience and games alone isn't of absolute importance just primary importantance.

OT: DRM Gate hurt it appeal with hardcore, while price hurt its mainstream appeal. Kinect was attributed to price increase so its requirement was akin to defending its higher pricetag similar to Sony circa 06.

Had it been 399 from the start, XB1 would be around 6-8 mil right now. DRM hurt its enthusiast appeal which affects the strength of its Sales boosts, ie TitanFall would've won XB1 the March NPD. The boost could have it a lot closer to PS4 especially Globally in the US.
