Ok just stop.  Being the most powerful console is never a DETRIMENT.  It is always a good thing.  However it is usually a corelation that they lose.

 

That's a pretty terrible argument people believe. It's like everyone went out like "wow, the games loo much worse in this console, it's amazing!!". Price is what matters and it's usually related to power. If X1 was 300 bucks and it never had the bad publicity it would probably be winning right now.

I'm sorry, what's your point?  The OP said that the strongest usually loses.  The strongest doesn't usually lose, the most expensive one does.

 

However, the PS3 did narrowly beat the 360 while costing 50% more at launch.  Honestly if the PS4 was $400, and the X1 was $300 (Like it should be) then yeah things would be different, but I don't think the PS4 would be losing.  It would simply be a closer race.

It's kinda too late for a price drop to make a massive difference now though.  It is common knowledge that the PS4 is noticably more powerful and better supported, so why not just spend the extra $100 and get the better system.  That $100 buys people peace of mind at this point.
