PS4 selling for $350. That's the key factor here.  It's competing with Xbox in it's strongest market when it's a $350 vs a cheaper xbox and some months insane firesale deals.  

 

Basically it's good for PlayStation because when it gets a price cut,  slim,  neo it's going to go crazy.  And still only be at $300 which is the current xbox price leaving lots of room for further price cuts over the coming years. 

i know that. that's why i mentioned the pricecut as a positive impact for the xb1
last year the ps4 sold for $399/$449 and the XB1 for $349/$399

so the xb1 was already cheapter, but performed worse compared to the ps4
now the xb1 is even cheaper and performed better compared to the ps4

Yeah but the xbox was going for $250 with a number of games thrown in. That's crazy value compared to the ps4. 

 

If the roles were reversed,  Xbox at $350 and 1 game and ps4 at $250 with 3 games it would outsell it 2:1. 

 

Xbox sales are anything but impressive.  Ps4 are just average but it's got a lot more to give in future.
