Let's put the fan-centric arguments of who "won" aside for a moment.

Microsoft gained some ground in the installed base segment, which is always meaningful early in a generation. More importantly, they chipped away at the PS4's previously unassailable image of invulnerability, giving them a nice PR platform going into Christmas. On the downside, it cost them a hell of a lot of money. Now, someone is going to say that Microsoft doesn't care about money but that's bullshit. They certainly care, they're just not afraid of risky investments.

@bolded, did it really though? 1.2m consoles going for $50 less than normal only "cost" them $60m, which is pennies to microsoft

Didn't they package like two games with it as well? Somebody is paying for those games.
