Compare early PS3/360 and the 360 was doing quite well due to quality games like Halo 3, Gears of War and exclusive JRPGs like Lost Odyssey. Even early XB1+ kinect sales were quite good despite the $100 more expensive due to quality games like Titanfall.

But when MS struggles to push out quality games like for most of XB1 and XB Series life, then they end up selling less combined than the 360.

Meanwhile end of PS3 and into the PS4 era, Sony pushed out quality first party games and the result was the PS3 resurgence and PS4 selling quite well.

So it has nothing to do with the PS4 being cheaper, more powerful, having more 3rd party games on it, AND the fact that most of X360 owners were actually PS2 owners who migrated to Xbox..

Yeah, that makes sense..

You were the one suggesting that Xbox first party was doing more heavy lifting than Sony. The sales follow the games not the price or graphical power.

Either way the XB1 was cheaper than the PS4 for most of its life.

The XB1X was also the most powerful console of that generation.

3rd party support was strong outside of Japan. Japan was handily given to Nintendo and Sony without a fight from MS.
