Forums - Sales - Sony Unfazed by Xbox One Price Cut, Suggests PS4 outsold by 2:1 lifetime

DonFerrari on 18 November 2014

When you are moving your stuff faster than you predicted and don't have much inventory stuck why would you worry or cut the price? They will cut when production outpass demand enough to justify it, otherwise they would be burning money to no avail.
also no need to be fazed by MS when you are in this situation.

Well they are losing ground in US, why wouldn't that worry you?  US buys the most games 


I don't know what charts you're looking at but the one I see has PS4 winning the US as well. Think about it in terms of a sport. If team PS4 is up 30 points and team Xbox scores 14 unanswered, who's winning? PS4 is, and comfortably.

Just because you see a sales bump due to price cuts, doesn't mean Xbone is winning.

i take back what i said about 2015, with Bloodborne, Uncharted 4 and all those japanese exlcusives coming up (including Persona 5 in Japan) then 2015 is gonna be the new 2009.

also im not saying that they are not gonna be competitive, its just that i want them to be MORE competitive than what they are now, but if what Arkaign said is true, then they made the right choice and it seems they might have a chance of coming close to wining if Black Friday gives them a big boost. (which is possible).

as for the second statement that i highlighted, i know that is the smartest move, but since the holidays move so many units i just want to see Sony being more competitive in that period, thats why i said what i said BUT it seems that despite the lack of a price cut they might just have a chance at winning November NPD.


You are good man and nothing wrong with them wanting to be more competitive it is good for us the consumers! But for now to remain "haelthy" they indeed made the right move.

There is a difference between being competitive and agressive... sony don't need to be more competitive if by cruising they are being ahead of rivals, but they sure can be more agressive.

Psst~ you won't be unfazed for long when the X1 overtakes the PS4 in the US.


It's already losing the Amazon Hourly chart and the PS4 bundles haven't even started.  BF week is the most important and the PS4 deals are a bigger savings based on what you can get with your money right now.  I'm sure they will be fine.  Just look at how things are right now.  PS4 regular prices is beating a 350 Xbox One with a free game(s) now.


Stop destroying my dreams!

wait... There's a 350 Xbox console? O_O
