MS is fighting a completley different battle now than what Sony did with the PS4. Sony was arrogant and overpriced there system. Sony did not force a policy on the consumer that would dictate what they would do with there purchases or other restrictive polices. People are pissed and they still are. The MASSIVE loss of marketshare in the US is proof of that. They have to overcome that and the fact that Sony has best versions of multiplats.


Very funny joke.

I think I am missing something.


Expensive is not the same as overpriced. 

The PS3 was actually underpriced, Sony sold each unit at loss and considerably so . To put things in perspective the cheapest bluray players at the time were $1000. 

$600 was the a ridiculous good deal, but it doesn't change the fact that it's still a lot of money, more than gamers usually can or will afford. And this is really the only reason the 360 managed to beat the PS3. Anyone trying to make parallels with the PS3 and the X1 is just fooling him/herself.
