I don't see how people can spin this as good.

Xbox One:
Entry Price: -150 (with better deals online)
Free Game(s): 2 Assasin Creeds
Released in more countries

Xbox One year over year is lower. Xbox One is now obviously doing less than the 360 in the same time frame.

Competitor Perspective:
PS4 up approx .14 million YOY: 1.7 million sold (56 days) approximates 1.94 million (64 days) > 1.8 million (64 days)
Furthermore, the PS4 was still recovering from the holiday shortage last year where people were lining up for the console which should of caused YOY to be down and it was still up YOY.

not only that but people are forgetting that ps4 first year is the equivalent of the second or third year in a normal console cycle.  How many ps4 were sold last year?  13m?.  It was almost there with Wii in the first year so it was obvious ps4 was way front loaded than the normal ps consoles.  people are concentrating too much of % increase/decrease without looking at the big picture.  Again being almost flat compare to last year without any price cut is very good.  It's also the most expensive console right now.
