Yeah, the measures MS had to take in order to go toe-to-toe with the PS4 are really huge. Meanwhile, Sony just kept patient and sent out huge shipments of PS4s to each retailer for Black Friday. The probem with MS's strategy is that it is not sustainable nor efficient. What about from January to end of October? Heck, an X1 victory in December is even less likely than a November victory. You cannot rely on just 2 of 12 months, especially when you offer huge discounts and deals during those two months.

You can *IF* the rest of the year the competition is not outselling you much, which is what happened with PS3, they were always losing out when making a gain for most of the year... but this time it *WONT* work, due to the fact that the PS4 has been selling a ton of consoles through the year. So this strategy might gain MS lots of sales but it wont win them the war.

Yeah, a 1.1 million deficit doesn't get erased in a month, let alone two. We also don't know if it's 2 out of 12 months or only 1 out of 12. If November turns out to be a statistical tie and the PS4 manages to outsell the X1 in December, then welp.....
