If the NPD numbers really show a 400k gap, then I am expecting the same or bigger for December. Sony messed up in the US. Price is King, and they let MS take that from them. Until PS4 matches XBO in sticker price, it is going to be rough going in this market.

How did they mes up when they sold more 10 months straight and MS had to drop the price twice,get rid of Kinect and do tons of bundles? Int he end global sales are all that matter and Sony still elads as well as have a huge gap overrall on the X1.I fail to see the loic in your comment.MS is not even competing anymore with a cheaper console.They opted out of competition because they know they could not match Sony witht he same price.Now Sony can drop the price when they want next year without taking a loss like MS.

I see it as a failure to capitalize on their situation. Sony said in post E3 interviews last year they were ready to launch at $349.99 if MS had announced a $399.99 price point. They should have called MS on this price point and never let them get any momentum.

I said it as soon as MS announced this price point. Sony has to react, because Americans buy based on the dollar, not the value. This is why they won the PS2 era the way they did. You have to be ruthless when you have momentum, and are on top of the mountain. Now they have let MS rebuild, and gain momentum. No matter how much it is, it is steam taken away from the PS4 train.

In the end all sales matter. Whether it is 1:1 or 5:1 you never let off the gas. This is not a football game where you respect the other team, and run the clock down. America, Japan, Asia, EU they all matter. It is not about the overall picture, it is about complete domination.
