Not just because.

There were cheaper competitors to Playstation 1,2,3 and 4. They all have some or another disavantage that made they sell worse than PS. On Power, N64 was stronger than PS1, Xbox and GC (and GC was cheaper) was stronger than PS2, X360 equivalent to PS3. In all those situation Playstation were able to outsell the competitors. This is basically the first time it was able to be the stronger console and the cheaper one (if we ignore WiiU and talk only launch).

So nope, Price and Power alone (and even combined) weren't the solo factors for PS win, perhaps only in USA and UK you can say that, Rest of the World the brand is so stronger than MS and Nintendo in gaming that even when more expensive and weaker they outsell them dearly.

N64 was stronger than Xbox; please come again?... And No, the Play Station Four did not have ANY competitor at a cheaper price other than the Xbox One.
I'm done talking about this; at this points all you do is coming out with random statements like that to defend your point.

Price (for the same kind of console + more power) was the biggest advantage of the Play Station Four over the Xbox One for the mass market which represents the majority of buyers, not Sony enthusiasts. And then the domino effects just propulsed the Play Station Four like crazy and it was just too late for the Xbox One. End of story.

Nope, I was saying N64 was stronger than PS1, and that Xbox and GC were stronger than PS2...

WiiU isn't a competitor? I sure see it being sold.

What is random on it?

 

You can say that Price+Power were the biggest advantage... but yet history have show that isn't true. All generations PS wasn't the the cheapest neither the strongest (except PS3 that was marginally stronger than X360) but it still sold much more than the competitors. Even on PS3 with it being much more expensive than Wii and X360 PS3 was able to gain terrain (aligned sales it was never lower than X360).

You may claim you won and leave the discussion if you want, that won't make you any more right or make Scorpio+X1 outsell PS4Pro+PS4
