I dont think that scenario is set in stone. Its quite possible that X1 could win non holiday weeks in the US, if the price differential stays. Momentum can changes especially this early in the gen.

Ummm you do know the price drop is only thru the holidays and only in the US as far as it being early on, microsoft is not sony.  Best case scenario they break even in the us overall and get annihilated in europe and japan not even taking into acct whats gonna happen when sony has a price cut or puts out more of their bigger AAA games as well as when it drops those consoles in china in the next little bit.  At the end of the day its all about marketshare/penetration and microsoft just cant at the global level no matter what stunt they try to pull. 


I was referring specifically to US sales. Regardless of whether the price cut is permanent or not, the increased sales over the holiday perioud puts X1 on the map...it wins mindshare and from my pointof view it seems to be working. Its definitely getting more positive coverage now than it was earlier in the year.

And like i said, the gen is early, momentum can change at any time especially in the US.
