On Amazon, I noticed that XB1 was suddenly 6 spots ahead of PS4, whereas PS4 has maintained around a 5 to 10 spot lead for about a month and a half, despite the lower XB1 price and 2 free games. So I was wondering why the big change?

Well, I checked out the description on XB1 and found out that they are now offering 3 free games and a free extra controller! This is extreme. How things have changed.

XB1 went from about $500 with no game or extra controller, unless you count Kinect, down to about $347 with 3 free games and a free extra controller. In comparison, PS4 sells for about $400 with one free game and no extra controller.

Microsoft must be losing a lot of money to do this, as it was reported that XB1 alone costs $400 to make. Throw in the extra controller and 3 free games and MS must be losing at least $100 a sale. Is it even worth that to barely beat out PS4 in America?


Exactly.  It seems like the X1 will have to sell for nearly half the price of the PS4 to beat it in just NA!!!  



Prediction for console Lifetime sales:

Wii:100-120 million, PS3:80-110 million, 360:70-100 million

[Prediction Made 11/5/2009]

3DS: 65m, PSV: 22m, Wii U: 18-22m, PS4: 80-120m, X1: 35-55m

I gauruntee the PS5 comes out after only 5-6 years after the launch of the PS4.
