You're putting too much stock into this mindshare nonsense, which isn't that strong to begin with here in NA, especially in the US.

The gap between the 2 is only around 1 million, which isn't nearly enough for some snowball effect to happen.

Where are you getting these numbers?

That value argument died last gen when the 360 was outselling the ps3 regardless of value.

Value? I'm talking price. The PS4 has the controller battery and audio adapter built-in for no additional charge. MS charges $25 each for those (I know, I bought it).

Precisely.

Here's a Sports analogy.

The PS4 = Blue Jays (my home team).

The XB1 = Yankees.

Yankees fumbled out the gate, but have since been tearing it up leading in to the post-season (Black Friday).

The Jays, who started out strong, are now coasting into the post-season lacking the momentum their division rival has.

That's what I'm saying tho. People see the lower price up front and don't consider secondary expenses, like battery chargers and WiFi adapters as shown last gen.

There are people that prefer batteries in controllers or dont need the audio adapter, so I dont really see why it should be added like that.

You mean Sony who were over 12 million down to MS last gen after the 7 or 8 years is only 1 million up... crap Sony need to sort themselves out.

I don't think we can discount the mindshare because they have won all NPD's this year and are leading by a nice amount of change in the USA so far.

Consumers are a lot more informed in our time than any other time. It is not like the PS3 vs. 360 age anymore, where smartphones, tablets and mobile apps were scarce.

A casual consumer will ask "Can I watch Netflix? Is it extra? Can I use my headphones? What else do I need to buy?". Easily found at comfort of fingertips.

Also, my point is that for a fairer comparison, those two $25 XBO accessories need to be added for total cost of ownership.

Hmm i think thats a problem then... if they had made the box bigger than the XBO then they would have had a massive amount of bundles. That's a big mistake from Sony there is no doubt the XBO is massive in comparison :(

Yea, but the Yankees win championships, and Microsoft's Xbox One is never outselling the PS4 worldwide.

It's $70 more than the XB1, an included PS+ membership would have made a world of difference.



MS has been having BF pricing for sometime now leading up to today.

You give the general public more credit than I do then.

Plus they are called accessories for a reason.
