The sales gap is good enough, but I agree they weren't as competetive. Maybe didn't try hard is the wrong wording. Not as competive as last year is better. The multiple star wars bundles and cod bundles had enough time to sell. This year PRO and PSVR were never going to be huge sellers, too expensive for the holidays. Than we have the uncharted 4 bundle which does not have as much appeal. COD not being as good this year and bundle coming in late. Next year though is gon be good. 

Sony would have lost this holiday season entirely without PS4 Pro IMO. No doubt that added at least 300-400k to their overall sales from November onwards, otherwise MS probably wins this holiday. PS4 Slim wasn't nearly as enthusiastically recieved as the XBox One S. 

US was XBox 360 Land too, lets not forget that, now that MS is removed a lot of the issues the XBox One had in the past with a fresh rebranding, it's not even that surprising that they are more competetive. People hate to say it, but the XBox brand still has considerable sway in the US. 

You're running on the assumption that if Sony didn't release the Pro, those alleged 300-400k sales wouldn't happen. What piece of evidence do you have that supports your notion?
