Looks like Xbox is continuing the holiday domination. The gap for December will be significant. North American gap will be reduced even further. Interesting.


Not really, its a very strong happening where a strong product that sales great all year vs a weaker one that relies on bundles giveaways and "temporary" price cuts for the holidays.  It happens in many markets where the weaker lesser seller is forced into losses to maintain relevence and save their minority share doring short term sales bonanzas.  Good for the consumer, a death trap for the product and brand.

You do know this is the same tactic MS ran with 360 as well, don't you? I am not saying it is good or bad, but it has benefitted them in the past. Also, I am not sure they are loosing money, since they have only made a temporary drop by 50$, otherwise they have to SKU: one with Kinect for 499$ and one without for 399$. And you also act as if PS4 hasn't had any deals this holiday, which I find interesting :).
