Well, seeing as that it is winning with the cutt, I think the analysis is off. That being said, we will see the real impact of it one way or another next year (assuming MS sticks with the cut).

You didn't read the Op did you? Or if you did you completely failed to understand its thesis. Not sure what's worse, failing to read or failing to understand.

@OP your logic is interesting, however it fails to account for one thing. There are roughly 100 million young'uns in the USA, roughly 40% want a game console, roughly 25% of those want a xb one and roughly 40% of them are not especially fussed about what console they get. That means roughly 26 million kids and teens who have birthdays evenly spread through the year. That means 200k birthdays per week spread over 5 years is 40K consoles per week as birthday presents, minus 10k for consoles bought for Xmas means 30k consoles. The price skew puts xbone at an ongoing weekly advantage which can mean xbone > PS4 most weeks.

I read the OP, and understand the thesis just fine. Doesn't mean I agree with it. Just because parents were more interested in buying the One during black friday means that the PS4 is the grown-up choice? News flash- the under 18 demographic has always been a major factor for VG purchases, and shouldn't be counted out.
