Yep and price was one of the biggest reason why ps4 was on top and this proves it. Now I like how the other side says Xbox sold more because it was cheaper....funny how they now accept the price was the issue.

then explain to me why the PS4 outsold the X1 in all the other months when both the PS4 and X1 had a 400 dollar price...

price is a big factor? yes, undeniably yes... but there is more than just price when deciding a purchase.

edit: sorry kind of missread that, i just noticed you said "one of the biggest reason", not the only reason...

also just went to the Hourly sellers and PS4 is at 9 and X1 at 8, seems like the PS4 have gone up quite a lot if it was at 50 yesterday, but i still have no doubt that the X1 will win this month, just because of that price difference, plus on the holidays theres a LOT of parents buying this things for their kids and that 50 dollar difference is gonna seal the deal.

Momentum and the co-marketing deals for Destiny and a little of Watchdogs.

Somepeople act as the Kinectless SKU had no effect in sales... well, it did and helped bring the price to $350.

You have to go back to June 2013 and read all the complains, not the BS FUD from annonimous "insiders", and you will understand is the biggest reason for the PS4 early lead in the USA.

 

im talking about how the PS4 outsold the X1 after both of them had a price of 400 dollars, and watchdogs was released before that so it has no place in this discussion, and Destiny came out in september (what about july, october,august, june?), so you are telling me that momentum was the only reason why the PS4 outsold the X1 in all the other months from june to october?...  ok i will respect that opinion but i disagree entirely, i think  that being able to get the most powerfull hardware with the better multiplats at the same price is a better reason.

also why didnt the X1 outsold the PS4 in the months that it had Co-marketing deals with COD (which is a bigger franchise that Destiny) and in the month that it had co-marketing deals with Madden?, we all know that co-marketing deals DO indeed help increase sales, so why didnt the X1 outsold the PS4 in those months?, you say its because of momentum but i dont think that momentum can beat something like a co-marketing deal with COD, i would say again that having a better hardware with the better multiplats at the same price is a bigger reason.

and i dont know why you are bringing the kinectless SKU in here... (im not even talking about that) did i said that it didnt increased sales? did i?... it did increased sales, but it wasnt enough to beat the PS4.
