Here in japan Xbox one costs $285 more than ps4, even with the game and price drop factored in.

Lololoool

Did you factor in the loss of all honor and respect from friends and family?

TBH I think Titanfall bundles would have pushed the Xbox past PS4 for March NPD alone. This will help too, though.

That loss cannot be measured in currency

Great. Now people can finally see that it's not the price holding the X1 back.

So what is holding it back? 

Best ask its detractors. Also all the people that switched from 360 to PS4.

Bad press and some bad press, sprinkled with a bit bad press, dropped in a pile of bad press. Did I miss something?

Technical inferiority. There are spec whores out there and the choice this generation is very easy for them: PS4

Very few people still care about the bad press, it was nearly a year ago afterall. Most people forgot or just didn't care about it to start with. Price is the only thing holding the Xbox One back from reclaiming it's lead markets and coming in at a close 2nd globally.

Lol. A lot of mainstream consumers don't even know about the 180. They still equal Xbox and Kinext with NSA^^

Reputation is everything. That's why people buy overpriced luxury goods and stay away from cheap garbage.

Also, you can't really argue that the people who already bought a console are the most money savvy consumers ;)

The Dreamcast launched at $200 and no one wanted it. When people don't see the value, they don't care it's cheap. The Xbone can be as low as the same price as the PS4, it won't sell PS4 levels. People just don't see value and don't like the console.

Tech whores are an even smaller minority than PC gamers. They might dominate the very early sales but after that they're irrelevant.

USA maybe and even then PS4 would be a close 2nd. UK I think PS4 will keep the lead. And the sales difference across all the other markets in favour of PS4 will be such that close 2nd for global sales will be something MS can only dream of. I think there will be daylight between global PS4 and Xb one sales by the end of this generation. I think the closest Xb one can get to PS4 in market share is 45%PS4 - 35%Xb one - 20% Wii U. But I can see Ps4 possibly achieving >50% market share, esp if Wii U doesn't improve.
