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

WiiU Is not in the same league, simple. The only competitor to the Play Station Four was the Xbox One. It is ridiculous to put the WiiU in the same league. I understand it fits in your agenda but it is just not a competitor to the Xbox One / Play Station Four; plain and simple.

And all the example you are coming from are nowhere close to what happened with the Play Station Four... Actually even the Play Station Three is a very good example of how the price affected its launch even if the Play Station Two dominated the market (as well as made the Play Station brand very strong). They achieved parity because of the brand afterward but did not get a head start BECAUSE of the price at first. If they would have come with a similar price (than the 360); I'm 100% convinced we would have been in the same situation than today with the Play Station Four, because again, price is what matter the MOST.

At the end; that what I believe (and I'm far from being the only one). I'm not calling anything a "myth" when I cannot prove it thought.

Also I'm not claiming anything (but have fun going on with your I win/I lose thing if it is important for you).
