i disagree they aren't helping.   oh sure,. ps4 is beating xbone but xbone is still beating 360 over the same time frame.  these sorts of deals keep xbone in the public spotlight as a viable competitor.   without them xbox would be as dead globably is it already is in japan.  i promise you they are helping even if the end result isn't "winning".

Why even bring this up when we both know that will change shortly, as the XBO is only ahead because of a great launch, but has since fallen greatly behind the 360 in monthly sales since the start of this year.  Or do you honestly think the One will match the 360's 6.8M for the '06 year.  I know I don't.  For the same time period (Jan-mid Sept) that the One has sold 2.3M, the 360, in 2006, sold 3.4M.  And the XBO has far less relevance in EU and Japan than the 360 did going forward. 


looking at my goalpost charts (us, europe, uk) xbone should be able to say ahead of 360 at least though the start of 2015.   yeah the lead is shrinking but not at a super fast rate.  the lines probably won't cross (according to my charts) until next holiday.
