Looks like XB1 won in the US by a big margin. Not totally surprised but disappointed. Sony needs to be a little more aggressive if they want to continue two expand their lead.

These are preliminaries so I'll save any further thoughts for later.

Sony is in the lead already and doesn't have the financial backing to just move a few more units for massive losses. This wouldn't make sense at all. The companies earnings from Playstation where all whipped out just by the cell phone department. So you want them to loss more money, so you can boast?

Sony needs to keep any profit they can at this point, not appeal to Vgchartz numbers.  They are already in the lead, what more do you want?

They don't need to take massive losses. I'm not asking for them to give away PS4s like Microsoft is doing.

What I'm saying is they need better bundles. Better retailer promotions. Like you said, they already have the lead, so all I am asking is for them to not lose it. Take advantage of it while you still can. If XB1 regains mindshare in the US it will be extremely hard to take it back.

 

You still need a big game to bundle with though, and that's what PS4 is missing this holiday. A big exclusive. Driveclub was suppose to big a launch game and was broken en LBP 3 isn't really a next gen title. if The Order hade launched on time they would have won Black Friday.

But PS4 is still doing incredibly well regardless.
