I really don't think he meant that in the way that the X1 is outselling the PS4 and thus catching up to it in total sales (quite simply because that isn't true), but more in the way that the X1s current sales are picking up and "catching up to the PS4s".

This.  Microsoft's $50 price cut and bundled games are a devastating hit to Sony's marketshare.  Sony not doing the same is just stupid.  Instead of dropping the price, they could atleast bundle more games.  Bundling a game they lose the possible sale of that game and maybe $1 for the amount to manufacture the game, so have four games bundled with the PS4, all first party exclusives, and Sony really loses nothing on the sale of the console and aren't forced to drop price but it still looks like a great deal.

I love the Playstation, but it's Sony being Sony.  It's been decades and they still haven't realized how bad their complacency hurts them in the long run.

If we go by their shipments figures, projected sales and everything else they will probably sell almost 100% of their inventory for the period and the cost to produce more + cost to cut prices (make bundles) would shrink their profit instead of risen... so maybe they decided they didn't need to attack when MS did it... Just waited and kept their plan for BF bundles.
