I have always been a PS fan, but that doesn't strike me as a "great," much less likely outcome. It also doesn't strike me as the type of insane investment that a company as successful as MS would ever make.
The fact that they sold a ton of consoles at a reduced price is largely contingent upon market context. MS was competing with a lower cost, more powerful alternative, so they reduced the price to a point where people would choose the X1 over the PS4. That has a whole lot to do with the market space and very, very little to do with customers adopting the perception that the XBox is a brand you only buy on sale.

just wait till new years sales plummet, and ill be plain as day to see.

If the sales plummet in 2015, why would it be anything other than consumers reverting back to the aformentioned cost comparison judgment. Do you really believe that people won't be buying $400 X1s because they think it's an on-sale only brand? I do not.

Its whats happening, you dont waste $ on a xbox. You wait to get a deal, its what many on here already learned and think of it. Its becoming the way they see the xbox.

I think that's the PS fanboy analysis of the situation. I think the real world consumer simply says, "I'll buy an X1, when it's competitively priced to the more powerful PS4," not "I'll buy that when it's cheap."

Its a fanboy analysis to think a real world consumer has any realistic idea of the power difference of the two consoles.
PS sales more at equal price becasue of its brand not any power difference. Same way a toyota camry or ipod out sales what ever you name at same price.
