I don't really care about Last Guardian either as I never played an ICO game, but it's apparently a pretty big deal for most of these guys.

It also wouldn't be smart of a company hemorrhaging money (like Sony) to announce a price drop of a new system whose retail price is at or below actual manufacturing cost. Sony really isn't under pressure to drop the price yet, the system is still selling strong.

Why is the PS4 outselling the Xbox One? Microsoft weighs in
Source: http://www.gamespot.com/articles/why.../1100-6419622/
Quote:
"It's hard to really assess the gap in sales," Mehdi said. "[Sony is] in many more markets right now than we are. They're in 40+ markets, we're in 13." The PS4 won't have a such a dramatic regional availability advantage for much longer, as the Xbox One will be released in Japan and 25 other regions in September.

Another reason why the Xbox One has fallen behind the PS4 in terms of sales so far is because, according to Mehdi, Xbox 360 owners enjoy their systems more than PlayStation 3 owners do, so they are less inclined to upgrade.

"People have been more satisfied with the Xbox 360 than the PS3, so in that respect people have less of a need to upgrade in the short-term due to regular updates for the Xbox 360," Mehdi said. "We could point to any number of things."
comments: i don't know...i'm still playing my ps3 while the xbox 360 collecting major dust and i'm about
to just give away my 360 to my cousin to free some space in my room. still an interesting
read though (although, i'm trying sooo hard not to laugh ).

MS is doing really great at what they think gamers like about their 360 more than the ps3.

P.S.: Japan is going to give a lot of LOVE to xbone alright.

Well the only thing that can be hoped is that Quantum Break the doesn't end up like syfy's Defiance (both the show and the game). But then again Defiance felt it was a test bed that didn't go anywhere and was riddled with time constraints issues that were non negotiable.

The people are enjoying the 360 more than ps3 is seriously lol spin, but it's also right going by sales. Ps3 price is way too much, if you've been a MS gamer in America you might as well jump straight to ps4. Ps2 sold like 50 million of their 150 million total after the ps3 was launched, ps3 ratio compared to that is going to be so shit.

Didn't the PS3 sale already catch up to the 360 both in NA and the UK, which was 360 territory last year?

I believe you're right. I believe the news broke a little over a year ago that lifetime sales for the PS3 had overtaken the lifetime sales for the 360 and I believe NA and UK sales had seen a similar turn as well but I can't really find the sources right now to back it up.

^Are you guys talking about LTD? Then no, not even close. For US it's 41.2m for 360 and 25.7m for PS3 plus whatever they sold in the past three months. For UK the last time we had numbers was that the 360 overtook the Wii with 8.4m last year and for PS3 that it crossed 5m two years ago. WW the PS3 likely overtook the 360 but those two are a lost cause.

This is why losing US and UK is terrible for MS. Even parity is very bad. 50 out of 80 million consoles sold are from US and UK. Playstation has WW appeal Xbox not.

Way off, 360 crushed the ps3 in america, it's actually on par with the USA sales for the Wii..... also PS3 is selling nowhere near as good as the 360 since next gen launched. The new PS3 SKU needs to address this situation because they're losing a section of the market. 360 is now a netflix machine without needing XBL GOLD as well and if that gets another price drop @ E3...

PS3's NA sales will never match the 360's. It's buoyed mostly by global sales, as the PS-brand is stronger in many parts of Europe and Asia.

Japanese XBONE was pushed back 4-5 months and my home country date was pushed back for next year?

The biggest mistake for MS is by not attention on internet idols, they lost the crucial 10 million.
