As for the quoted part, it's factually incorrect. Poor research.


His cousin's friend who is totally not made up once sold his PS4 for $50 so the statement is factually accurate.

I was saying that before this gen: the US isn't a reliable market. EU has much more brand loyalty, they stayed two gens with Sega and three with Sony. US stayed one with Ninty, started the next with Sega and changed to Nintendo mid-gen, two with Sony and one with MS. The US market goes for the cheapest and most hyped box. Sony started with the cheapest box and got all the hype. MS fixed the price issue, but the X1 got an avalanche of bad PR since the beginning and after that it became know simply as a console that would play all multiplats worse than PS4.



Bet with jetforcejiminy: PS4 will pass the Wii lifetime numbers.

It's certainly possible

We know MS won US last gen and completely destroyed all console competition even at one point PS3 was cheaper than the 360 and lost NPDs to MS at the same and as mentioned lower price point.  

This is probably your lamest prediction on VGC, ever. I don't think you will see many people disagree with your predicted outcome.

As for the quoted part, it's factually incorrect. Poor research.


ps3 dropped to 249 with a 160gb HDD in 2011 while at that time the cheapest 360 sku with a HDD was and still is 299

 

to this date the cheapest ps3 sku is 199 the cheapest 360 any sku is also 199

its a toss up, 50/50 chance

When TitanFall came out Sony countered with Infamous.

When Xbox announced 399 Xbox to the media, Sony dropped Destiny bundle and PSTV at E3.

Its a huge toss up.

Looking at the sales trends, even after E3, Sony winning this month is much more probable than Microsoft. Microsoft not advertising their price drop at E3 was a bad idea.

That was strategic PR, is kinda why there isn't also a big marketing push that somehow goes with these kinda price drops. Its a stealth major price drop it seems. I think they don't want people somehow going, "what? didn't ust come out last year and they are already dropping the price?"

So, they are handling less like a price drop and just more like the introduction of a new cheaper SKU. 

That's a pretty bad excuse for not announcing it. 1. Such a major price drop at E3 would give great publicity. Can you imgaine the applause they would have gotten for such an announcement? 

2. If they really cared so much about image, they wouldn't have removed the Kinect in the first place.

  1. Thats the thing, XB1@$399 is not a "price drop". Its a different SKU, one without kinect. Thus it would be called the kinect free version. Its like sony announcing a PS4, taking out wi-fi, the disc drive, dropping the price to $250 and calling it a "price drop". Its not. 
  2. They care about image, but they care about sales more. The PS4 was killing them at $500. Its bad when the one differentiator you have is something that no one sees value in and then the industry at large is saying your console is weaker and yet charging more. To improve their chances of selling more, they had to drop the price, to do that, they had to take out kinect. You don't came on stage exactly a year after you left the very stage championing a feature that you claimed your platform was built around only to announce that you had taken it out and you were dropping the price. That doesn't get you applause, they would probably laugh you off the stage.

Here's a prediction, VGC will put the X1 significantly ahead in NA for the next three weeks, NPD will show otherwise.

Nothing bold about that. I could've told you that ;)
