Holiday 2014 was really good for Xbox One. Price cuts plus good games and superb console bundles caused sales to spike...but (worldwide) it still couldn't outsell the PS4.
Could it simply be that Playstation is a stronger gaming brand? Playstation has been on the market longer than Xbox. Playstation is also the brand that sold 150 million consoles in one generation (a feat that may never be repeated). To a large number of gamers worldwide, Playstation is synonymus with gaming, and Xbox may not necessarily have that reach.
Should Microsoft concede and simply settle for second place since the Playstation brand is stronger?
Leave your thoughts.

PS4 selling much better than Xbox One have nothing with stronger brand, stronger brand did not help PS3 last gen.
Main reason why PS4 is selling much better than Xbox One is that same multiplat games works on 1080p on PS4 and 900p on Xbox One.

Actually, yes it did. PS being the strong brand that it is is what allowed Sony to sell over 80 million consoles despite their initialy screw ups. Without that brand power the PS3 would have gotten no where near 80m. Just imagine if the PS3 had been called something else and was made by a different company as their first ever games console, it would have done terribly.

If strong brand is so important, PS3 would be sell good from start (especially after 150m PS2 consoles) without billions of Sony investment to turn PS3 around, and Xbox 360 wouldn't be on pair with PS3.
