How the heck did Sony manage to retake the console market again?

And why couldn't Microsoft priced the Xbox One intially at $400 like the PS4 for the "SAME capabilities to the general consumer?"

That's EXACTLY my point...

Microsoft priced their hardware way too high (100$ too high to be exact) and no matter the reason you want to put on that...
Maybe (but just maybe) the inclusion of Kinect was the reason... Maybe it was them being way too confident after the 360 success... Maybe something else...

At the end, that's why (in my oppinion) Sony got the head start and is now ahead after the domino effect for the whole generation.

And you really need to clam down with your Microsoft forcing its initial agenda on the consumer lol. I don't even thing you realize how non-sense this is... Like Sony or Nintendo or any other company are not doing the same... You liking more the agenda of Sony does not make it Hello? Maybe you dislike what Microsoft is doing... But get real.

The 28.7M (the path it took) vs 56M shows exactly that. Microsoft lost it because of the price point and now the domino effect is unstoppable; more players already own the Play Station Four and for the same price new comers will go with the most "popular" one. If you want to think it is because of the "incredible" values of the Play Station Four; fine but that's your oppinion. At the same starting price point it would have a been a completly different story in my oppinon...

We'll I gave my reasons why, and you had issues with it.  That's all you.
