i think the bad marketing at the beginning dont interest the people no more, and some groups of people now see that the Xone has some important exclusives that the ps4 is missing (racing/Shooters) like halo Gow4 and Forza series, so the xone s only was the i touch to change systems.

Two of my friends for example changed in the last month and their opinion was that the ps4 dont have a good racing game or good exclusive shooters, and they dont trust Sony that gt sport will be good or that the game release next year. After they went to gamestop the traded in their ps4 with all games and one get the 500Gb Fifa bundle Xone s with Forza 6, Halo 5 and Bf1. The other buyed the Green 1 Tb Bf1 Bundle and get Horizon 3 with it.
So Now they have the good exclusives and all the 3rd party support they need.

I think Ms has the Momentum Now because of an exellent exclusive Line Up with Gears 4, Halo 5, Quantum Break, Forza6, Horizon 3, Halo Mcc, Sunset Overdrive or Ryse Son of Rome and others people see it now.
Some will say that you can play some games on the pc but this dont interest a 30 year old worker who dont have enough time to play how he want to.

The other side is the technical part where normal (casuals) dont see a diffrence betwenn 900 p upscaled to 1080p or 1080 p native

Certainly Driveclub is a very bad game, Project Cars is inexistent so PS4 have no racers right? Destiny, CoD, KZ are all very inexistent shooters.

Yes I'll correct you, the baseline PS3 was 500 at launch not 600.

Thank you. Am I also correct that cutting PS2 BC allowed for lowering PS3's price?

DonFerrari said:

But sure enough from what we know it was the 600 that sold better.

When you're willing to spend 500 on a console, what's another 100 amirite?

You may skip the fact that PS3 dropping BC and selling better still because of price reduction isn't a proof that most don't care about BC, but how will you ignore that X1 after adding BC haven't seem a spike in sales to prove how useful it was seem? Even more when we had the first statistics showing how little the function was used.

Firstly, whether it was used or not isn't really the point: BC helps improve XB1's appeal and reputation. XB1, having shed its mandatory kinect crap and such is no longer the bane of the industry. Now it's the console that has BC and better mod support which distinguishes it from the PS4.

Secondly, what statistics are you referring to?

Yes, the cut of BC helped a lot cutting the price.

When you are expending 400, the 500 or 600 shouldn't be a problem... I do agree, but a lot of silly gamers, buying 5-10 games a year for 5-10 years think the 100 bucks more on the HW is a problem.

We received some info on how many hours BC was played and it amounted to less than 30 min a month per user. And it matters, added function that isn't usefull, necessary or wanted adds only cost.
