I agree. Sony is being very agressive in Japan and Europe with all the bundles and limited edition PS4's in those regions. The fact that Sony hasn't done much in the US has left me scratching my head...

Did you see the sales data? It is nothing more than the echochamber of videogame forums. Sony understands that hourly amazon percentage based increases mean nothing. As do many people.

People demanded action during TitanFall bundle week/month. People demanded action in response to the $100 less SKU. They came and went. Just browse the yearly 2014 best sellers on amazon. You can get a decent barometer for quantity based on software and hardware placements. HINT: The xbox one has SKU at 98th spot and 51 and 52 and the PS4 is 4th and 28th. It is updated daily..... i know i know, it takes soooo long for the information when we can simply check hourly changes with no relative comparison for quantity but it is a sad slow world. So 3 SKU versus 2, someone do the math to figure out how the PS4 is outselling the One by 10:1 based on figures

EDITD for REFERENCE OF AMAZON "PERCENTAGES"

Yes, I know that Amazon, especially when it comes to their hourly charts, is not the be-all, end-all. For instance, the PS4 and Destiny bundle were ahead of the X1 on the hourly charts all September by 20-30 places. It seemed as if the PS4 outsold the X1 by way more than 2 to 1, but NPD showed that the ratio was smaller than 2 to 1.

However, we can't deny that MS is stepping up their game (even if it's only for the last two months of the year). This is a great way for Sony to make a statement that PS4 is the place to play and persuade consumers that their system over Microsoft's. While Sony is doing that in Europe and Japan, the company has been complacent in the US.

I am sure Sony will make a statement. There is so much time left. Even if sony were to react to this drastic sale and announcment by MSFT it has been less than a week. Remember the echochamber. I believe there were leaks of a new SKU model and teh previous announcment of a stand alone white PS4. Deals will come. Announcments will be made. Hell there is a huge PS event the first week of December. This is like when Google does their I/O a week before Apple has an event for 4 days everyone flips out about how google is making moves and then apple has their event and the 24 hour news cycles changes. This is better business and marketing announcing last. they have teh luxery of doing so. Hold tight.
