Then why aren't we seeing that now with the Xbox One? Xbox brand power should make it do better, right? We're seeing it in NA/UK where the Xbox brand isn't completely dead. 

Because the 360 did not have the marketing and bad PR issues the Xbox One has.

When MS done everything right and Sony done all the mistakes they could, and took over 3 years to correct PS still outsold Xbox. But for some reason he thinks that if PS4 made the same mistakes on launch as X1 and corrected then in 6 months they would still be outsold between 2:1 to 3:1. He won't accept Playstation have much more brand power and even if every gen starts from zero that didn't prevent PS to always sell consoles on the 90M or over.

Don you answered your own post with your very first sentence. Much like this generation correct?

1 - 360 had way more bad PR, you must be young to not remember but every day on the gaming news there was talks about RROD and only 3 months warranty, and the HD DVD thing that never got off the ground, and the fact it didn't have bluray or wi-fi or HDMI port. your memory is not as good as mine it seems.

2 - That's because xbox can never win, its impossible, sony has Japan on lockdown, and almost the same for Europe, the only country in Europe that even cared for xbox was the UK. Most other countries bought the 360 due to how easy to pirate games it was, fact. 

3 - The only reason xbox still sells a bit is huge sales, at many points the 360 has been at half the price of the ps3, brand new. And at many points the xbox one has dropped to 120euros brand new with a game black Friday. If prices were matched, the ps4 would have had outsold the xbox by way more.

4 - Sony did a lot of mistakes, but in that generation Microsoft did way more, you could say ps3 was expensive, but it was a lot more reliable, had the cheapest bluray, more storage, a better cpu, hdmi port, free online, a more premium build, integrated wi-fi, just top of my head. The only 2 mistakes sony did was to launch much later and way more expensive.
