With 12 million PS4 owners, the vast majority of which are core gaming enthusiasts, I'd say potential buyers at this stage in the cycle, and at the discounted price point, would be non-gaming enthusiasts. Parents shopping for the holidays will make up the majority of the X1 holiday sales. The real question is, will kids be clamoring for PS4 pr X1. Even with X1 being such a steal with the discount and free game, it will be interesting to see what comes of this holiday season.
If nothing else it should be a good indicator of whats to come. If X1 doesn't win the holidays with this deal, they are in unspeakable trouble. If the are able to win the holidays then there may still be a hope for the X1. If I were pressured to guess, I would say that concerning this holiday season, the two consoles will sell approximately the same, with a slight edge in sales to X1. This still wouldn't be considered "good" in my opinion if I were running Microsoft. They need to be able to dominate the holidays, and discount or not, I don't see that happening.
