Has anyone looked at the bundles offered with the xbox one s (get it almost free with a 4K TV)? or the firesale of the og xbox one (bundled with so many games that the cost of the console comes down to something like 50$)...
I mean, I really like my PS4, and am about to get a PS4 Pro, but I can see people picking these consoles for their kids, or as an easy uprade coming from the 360, with it being partially backward compatible.
Add this to the good relation MS has with the gaming press, and their great social media presence... I mean, you still have people calling Sony arrogant for saying they have the most powerful console on the market - it's just something people say in gaming Sony is "arrogant" - then MS has this Scorpio thing they plan to maybe release next holiday season that will be somewhat more powerful, MS act as if they shipped the most powerful console (it's still around 1 full year out at the time of this writing), and it seems like very few people find this claim "arrogant", or presumptuous...
So yeah, MS fixed their reputation, and for some reason I have yet to understand Sony is still a boogey man, in some circles... so yeah, when you give a good product away against a better product that cost quite a bit more (the PS4 has not had to be given away like this, EVER), and you manage to make some in the press believe a minor upgrade of it with some neat re-resign is a major upgrade, well yeah, they get some sales.
