wasnt xb1 outselling ps4 two months in a row in the u.s. ''impossible'' but yet here it is lol


It was impossible until MS massively cut the price on the X1, making it cheaper than the Ps4 and gave away a lot of free games.


MASSIVELY! Lol Sony cut the price of the PS3 by 100$ in under a year, and didn't remove dead squat! Vs a temporary price cut for two months and 2 games with that. Now its probably staying at 349, but production costs are probably already at that level or maybe even lower! Back in Nov 2013 it cost 397$ (without kinect) to make. Now its probably considerably lower. Anyway good decision to lower it again, and congrats for the sales!

And MS dropped the entry price of the 360 to $279, or $120 less than the newly $399 PS3, so of course the 360 was going to stay ahead.  It just proves what others have said, US gamers, as a whole, seem to very price conscious and not as brand loyal as other countries.  Though, PS4's popularity is helping it to compete against the cheaper XBO.  And I imagine it may help it stay ahead in the slower months.
