You saying they can afford it shows ur lack of business ethics

They will eventually catch them in the U.S. and UK.

I don't think so personally. Sony sold 1m in the UK two months ago whilst the Xbox has had to plummet it's price here. Sony are sitting pretty on being able to drop the price and have consistently outsold the Xbox despite huge pushes by MS with Titanfall, Forza MCC, Sunset Overdrive and so on. I also can't see MS being able to rely on the third party push they've had early on, it's going to get harder and harder to miss out the PS4 with the size of it's user base, we've already seen games move to PC and Crytek seem to have been hurt badly by Ryse. Doesn't the Xbox have an exclusive hiatus for quite a few months or something? I've seen that bandied about on here but haven't looked it up.
MS has played most of their hand with the price and some of the bigger titles they've put out whilst Sony are still holding their price drop and games like Bloodborne, Uncharted and Gran Turismo plus solid sellers like GoW.
I don't know about the US though.
I would hope so after a revision to drop the joke of the industry Kinect(lol) and multiple price drops..lulz
Yes, the same recovery strategy Sony applied to the PS3 seems to be helping Microsoft this generation.
Maybe maybe not. However it's Gen 8 now not 7
Electronic Arts CFO Blake Jorgensen believes Microsoft is "catching up" to Sony in the current-gen console battle. Jorgensen said during a talk at the UBS Global Technology Conference in Sausalito, California yesterday that "Sony has jumped out to a lead with a great console and I think a great pricing strategy" with the PS4.
Shipments for Sony's latest home console reached 13.5 million consoles as of late October, whereas Microsoft reported that shipments of Xbox One consoles hit 10 million globally last week. Jorgensen saw the Xbox One's $50 price cut for the holidays as a tactic by Microsoft that "will continue to pull the consumer into the new consoles." The EA executive estimated that combined sales for the two systems will top 25 million consoles following the holidays.
Thoughts? This the 2nd time I have heard this.

You wish ... all im saying.
10million globaly as of last week vs 13.5million as of late October ( now we have late November ) is far from catch up.
EA is very trustworthy. They always say the truth.
Remember the Wii U quotes?
They only say this because MS has said yes to something... Origin on XBOne?
Just stop posting what EA says. They are useless.
@StormyJoe: Way to be neutral there EA... I mean it's good for both if MS catches up to them, good for competition
If anything, this recent Xbox sales surge has shown that average consumers care more about the price than all of the minutia that gets discussed ad nauseam in forums like these. All Microsoft needs to do to catch up is keep their price below the PS4 and keep delivering on the exclusives. I think that's well within the realm of possibility. The PS4 is a fine machine, but as the generation progresses, more and more people will own both.
You don't get it do you.,? MS is sinking the xbox one into a loss pit,they are losing money non stop basically since launch those free bundle games are not free to MS,and the heavy pricing eats into the profits since they are not buying enough units to take cuts in mass production the way sony is doing.
They ship close to 10 million units but have sold not even 7 million of those,while sony is close to sell those 13.5 million units already,US may care and Uk about price drops but how did that serve MS last gen.?
Sony sold the same amount of units MS sold with the xbox 360 but in 1 year less,even that MS had almost 10 million units head start and a price advantage all gen long,so now that MS has been losing world wide i don't see them getting close to sony even with a lower price.
Hell the XBO just reach 1 million in UK sony already did that 2 months ago,but in markets like Germany sony already sold 1 million units while MS is at 176K units that 6 to 1 gap and in most of EU it is like that and will not change,so yeah MS will always trail sony this gen.
They will eventually catch them in the U.S. and UK.

What does that prove that MS is playing catch up.? Because sony sold 1 million units in September in Uk,2 months ago.
US and UK are even less of an issue for sony this gen that they were last gen,the advantage the PS4 has over the xbox one in EU is freaking huge this time,so basically MS will trail the PS4 all gen long,oh and hope sony doesn't drop the price..
The XBox was phenomenal and bettered the PS2 in many ways.
Yet it was ultra behind the PS2 game wise.
I would hope so after a revision to drop the joke of the industry Kinect(lol) and multiple price drops..lulz
And yet Sony couldn't do it for a whole generation with the DelayStation3........lulz
MSoft actually putting out great software since its launch while Soony has put out................... well they were cheaper.
Oh please even Halo has 87 ahahaha they have shit,TLOU 95% the highest rated game this year on meta damn this year sucks for gaming,and pretending the xbox one had a good year is a joke it didn't and its best game is a damn flop game,in all sense of the words since it failed to live to the 9+ scores it had on several of its chapter.
You best game this year is a collection of old games,the best PS4 one is a last year game this year suck for gaming.
Ow look, Tormentos and some made up statistics, what else is new
LOL, bit like when he pretended he had a PS4

There is a difference between "catching up" and "caught up"...
@StormyJoe: Way to be neutral there EA... I mean it's good for both if MS catches up to them, good for competition
They released Titanfall just for Microsoft so it's natural they want them to make a comeback or else they would have bet on the wrong horse.

Which was a big mistake, also seing how FIFA has exclusive content aswell doesn't make it easier for them to make a case. They should have released Titanfall on all platforms
