Two factors that might change this....

1.) With more children getting the Xbox One this holiday, they will talk about it with their friends more. This could build it more with the younger generation. PS4 seems to skew older as it is..

2.) The PS4 sold SOOO well in its first year.. that sales might slow down heavily going into next year.. The Xbox One will likely stay at $349.. that price point might continue to help boost sales now.. where people were waiting to buy before..

Nope. It still leaves children having to wait til they save up or get one as a gift after word of mouth and thats even saying they asked for a X1 for christmas instead of their parents going out buying them an X1 because it was cheaper yet they asked for a PS4. The PS4 sold so well because it is the better console. It took a price reduction, loads of free games, more advertisement and a remastered Halo games to move those consoles on Black Friday. I mean I've always been Sony and Nintendo. Never seen or had a reason to buy Xbox but even I was temped by that price drop and free games and if MS brought it to Europe I would have bought one too.

No, it was cheaper.  That's it.  The masses will always gear to the cheaper product.  To further prove the point look how well the Xbox is selling now since it dropped price.
