PS4 down 30% yoy and One up around 10%, I think. I think Sony might actually have to do something to hold off MS in the US, yet people are still tagging this market as an easy win for the PS4.

Agreed! But they still have the pricecut card to play. I can see them dropping the pricecut bomb at E3 and see the momentum carry them into holidays where it will have to battle Lara and Halo. Can't see MS being able to drop the price by much and will be relying on Halo next holiday and it could do the job for them.

If they continue to beat the XBO until the holiday period, then there is no point dropping the price until the holiday period. It will then give them some ammo to beat or keep close to XBO in the xmas period.

Sony dont need to panic right now, if they sell at about the same pace/gap the gap to the XBO would be around 1.1m. Wait till MS start looking towards the Xmas period with their crazy deals and then drop the price... BAM!
