It wasnt just black friday though. They really underestimate Microsofts ability to gain hype in America. I believe Microsoft won both November and December with cheaper Xbox Ones. This year they will have cheaper Xbox Ones and Halo 4 launches along with Tomb Raider.

Sony didn't understand that the Holidays are about lower prices and better deals.

I disagree. I think sony do understand that but unlike MS, they aren't in the financial position to have a price war with MS so they have no other choice. Even if sony created a better deal than it did last year, MS will come up with something that will let the customers know they have the better deal because they can absorb the losses.

Yet they can spend all this money on 3rd party deals?
|
Well, they still have to do something to make their console appealing to the customers but based on value for your money, MS will always have the advantage because they can afford it. if sony manages to make an offer, you and I know than MS can outspend sony. If MS decided to let sony get away with those marketing deals, you can be sure that money wasn't the reason. Still, I was talking about who have the ability to make the better deals during holiday because financially, one of them has the upper hand over the other so it's useless for sony to compete with MS in that regard
