Sony would have to start lout selling Xb1 again, within the next month or so to hold a nice lead heading into Nov.

You don't tell me. What about target 330 bundle with 50 gift card. those intense Holiday promos probably antecipated like 9 months of good sales making them quite smaller.

That's right; it got all the way down to $270. I know there are many claiming that the second drop has yet to be effectively advertised and take effect, but $270 is $80 cheaper than $350! That's approximately 23% cheaper than what it costs right now. What if this cut is 23% less effective? Why shouldn't we expect that? The X1/PS4 holiday gap wasn't even 23%...

Customer are probably confused about x1 real worthness.

I expect the impact to be minimal. Just said we don't have data to validate how much of a impact the ad would do on the 6th week of a pricecut.

2 thousand is not significant, it doesn't even cover 10 % of what the X1 outsold the PS4 by last year.

You mean that over 600k PS4 have of advantage? Yep, it isn't even over 3%.

Yeah that didnt happen....

Looking like theres not much X1 can do at this point. Its cheaper, no kinect, free games included, game drought upcoming..... and its still loosing its bigest market. At this point im starting to feel bad for MS. They really have tired to win back the community and have offred some insane gamer friendly incentives. Its just too far gone :( kinda like watching a boat sink

Wow, this thread has really blown up. I think the playing fields can be even in the US with PS4 and XB1 depending on what MS does and how Sony responds, but in EU, I don`t think that is going to happen. That looks like PS country to me.
