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?


Given their massive dommination of MS, those deals are dirt cheap.  Its in the best intreast of both sony and whatever 3rd party to sign the deal.

Sony does not care about winning a month or two by losing massive cash especially since they are still killing the xbox world wide and thats what they care about.    Teh big picture not one marlet, who they still will lead at the end of the year.  MS focusing on only NA is in PS4s best intrest, they get to steam roll the world with no opposition.  They are letting MS foolishly blow their load on one market and are giving them breatheing roon to do it there.

Sony could have easily crushed the xbox one in NA, but its would been stupid on their part to motivate MS into kick starting another gen early like the 7th.  Theya re giving ms roon for small success to keep going keep the futile fight going ratehr then cutting loses and trying agian.  This whoel gen Sony has played MS for fools, they are still doing it.  And reaping the benefits of it, Spencer took over a sinking ship best he can do is keep it floating.
