Another price-cut for Microsoft? How much money are they losing with Xbox One?

Microsoft knows that PS4 is well on its way to PS2 type sales and they don't want to repeat that era... nobody wants to repeat that era(company wise) but Sony. They're desperate. Getting more consoles into the hands of consumers is more important than a loss to them. The same tactic used for the Sega Genesis... nice. Let's just hope it works Microsoft... Bwahahah! - cough.

Honestly, I don't think so. Best-sellers like the PS2 and Wii had mainstream appeal (PS2 was a DVD player, Wii had family-friendly motion controls).

The PS4 doesn't have this mainstream appeal, and is targeted squarely at gamers. I can see it doing about 80M lifetime, tops. The PS4 is currently tracking behind the Wii.

I should have clarified as I thought someone would bring this up. I mean around the 70-80M mark that you mentioned. I was just too lazy to write it. By no means do I think it'll get past 100M but if things don't turn around, it will definitely be this gen's top selling home console.
