I think we are definitely getting mixed messages, but it does seem MS have brought the fight to Sony for November no doubt. It may be a few weeks before we find out if Sony's decision to not price cut will help them win the month or make it close or not. (I consider a small gap in favour of MS a win for Sony)


You know that Sony are in the position to look at sales and PROFIT most of all, Sony do not need aggressive price cuts. Winning also Nov is food for zealots, Sony don't care if zealots feel better if PS4 win every NPD every year.  They do care about great sales, and they are having great sales, and profit. Why Sony should beat MS at any cost in any NPD ? I'm not saying this to you, it's just general thinking.  In the Global PS4 is setting apart, and in NA is still ahead of XOne in the user base.  Never rush things, just do the right move at the right moment, what Sony are doing. 

Good point. Sony has had good sales all year and they don't want to wipeout a shit load of their yearly profits in the US just so they can sell out their shipments in half the time and then have days where everything is out of stock. This way they will still sell their big shipments but still make a profit at the same time. And people buying PS Plus will be the icing on the cake. It's crazy to think the regular PS4 is still in the top 100. People buying that are giving Sony pure profit considering they then have to go buy games, another controller(s) and a lot will buy PS Plus.
