Honestly, I wouldn't see a November win as a sign of sony arrogance in action. It's not arrogance to lose in sales when your rival slashes $70 off the cost of their console and bundles in games for the holiday season.
I mean, you can't see that sort of action coming. They could have lowered their own costs, but I imagine sony was waiting to see what the effect on MS sales would be for November.
Arrogance would be a vita situation where they refuse to do any price changes despite months of thrashing and vanishing good will.

They'll only be in the lead if everything starts moving in the opposite direction.
And then technically, the Wii U will be in the lead.
Or the Ouya.
Ouya sold more than PS Vita. This joke can be true some day.
Dude was in charge of MS Game Studios during its 'Halo/Gears/Fable/Forza rinse and repeat" haydays. Backpedaling from his predecessors plans after said plans backfired, doesn't erase the fact that Spencer was running MS first party studios when it was at its most anemic.

Well im glad the news has made you happy.
They're not in the lead though, they're desperately trying to catch up

One month=/=closing the gap
Ouya could be $9.99 and still get outsold by vita.

As they should, it's well-earned in a way.
Not sure they can go back to the same pricing in January though.

Honestly that has probably happened in Canada at some point. Ouya does oddly well on their Amazon there.
I don't understand people putting all their hopes and dreams for Xbox into Spencer. I mean come on now:
I have no idea how much Ouya sell, but Vita had terribles months with less than 10k.

Nvm, wrong thread again

Now THAT would be a meltdown thread. Granted, MS would have to absolutely flood the market and sell out, and Sony would have to have pretty much no sales to speak of world wide that month.
But man would that be a fun thread.

... and start discussing what to say if their stakeholders ask when and if they want to make money with that thing...

from 1 January onwards will still make sense to buy One to 399$?
Yep im guessing 17 million worldwide to customers
Some companies don't have the luxury of being able to operate divisions at a loss without consequences. I wouldn't hold it against them.

A good measure of failure is when the Vita performs less than the OUYA's first month of sales.
What's BIG though? I say anything over 400K.

"A New Day for Xbox"
Is a pretty damn good PR slogan after they win the NPD. Who invented this?

I believe so too. However it would be funny to see who actually made the most money for sales during this time.

Maybe they'll jack up the price and then wait until November to reduce it again. What a fiendish plan.
Nah, I think maybe 100k if that. Probably less.
And guess who control the budget and revenue target of first party games?
when you given a low budget and high revenue target then only thing you can do is make games that are sure bets
I look at ratios. I'd say anything over 3:2 for x1 is a big win.
Personally I think that is fucking terrible.
Now it can truly begin.
I'll be surprised
Let's say we're at a F1 race and the leader is 10 seconds ahead of everyone else. If the driver on second place pulls out a lap that is one second faster than the leader, he's still #2. slowly closing the gap if he can keep it up, but he's not suddenly ahead now.
That's how I see it.
