Fuck the 72 countries.. PS4 is winning in every country where both are released.
Also in march PS4 sold 60k more than XB1 in the US (XB1's strongest market) despite the $400 PS4 costing more than the $330 XB1. Now the bundles cost $450 but included Titanfall ($60), 1 year of Xbox Live Gold ($60) and Kinect (which alone "makes the Xbox One a better deal" or so I was constantly told some months ago).
No way in hell these figures live up to Microsoft's expectations, now losing money on every sale due to the $50 price cut, loss of income from new Xbox Live Gold members, payment to EA for each copy of Titanfall, huge marketing campaign, etc. I don't wanna see the XB1 struggle but I understand why Microsoft is forced to slow down production rather than lose even more money.
Both the PS4 and XB1 will see low sales through the summer but at least the PS4's upcoming games are quite cleverly spread throughout the remaining months of 2014.
