i just don't agree with the point of the xb's situation being worse.
both are bad. im not sure right now, wich one is worse

only 10% increase with the new 150 bucks cheaper pricepoint is ofc bad
but the 30% ps4 decrase is bad, too. even with that "understandable" situation

and if u throw in that 2 free games for the xb1, u have to throw the 1 or 2 free games for the ps4, too
the xb1 went from december to janary down 82% at both months being 500$. and now 88% at both months being 350$
cleary no good sign

but wee need some more monts of 2015 date, to make some educated guess, if the consoles doing good or bad and wich one doing worse (comparde to its own previous year performace)

Both are bad, but one console's situation came out unexpectedly. Guess which one? Right, the XB1. PS4's drop from last January was expected since its price is still the same since launch. Also, it's not only a 10% increase for the XB1, it's actually less than 10%.

The PS4 only had one game bundled with it last month. It was until the beginning of this month (or end of last month) where it got TLOU + 1 year of PS+ included, which later became TLOU + Shadow of Mordor. The XB1 also had the psychological advantage with the price tag being $349 as opposed to the PS4's price tag remaining exactly the same.

For the next months, the PS4 is sure to do better than the XB1. This month, it will have The Order: 1886. Next month, it will have MLB 15: The Show, Toukiden Kiwami, and Bloodborne. Sony also has exclusive marketing for Battlefield Hardline and Batman: Arkham Knight. Meanwhile, the XB1 doesn't have much going for it, so there is no doubt that it is in a worse situation than the PS4.
