    Fair play, Xbox are doing well at clawing people back....free game, earlier release date, better line up of exclusives (subjective, obviously, but I think the majority of gamers are more keen on the XB1 lineup)...

    A smile costs nothing, but gives a lot.
    It enriches those who receive it without making poorer those who give it.
    A smile takes only a moment, but the memory of it can last forever.

    I was tempted by the PS4 but the only games I'm interested in on there are all multiplatform. People always go on about how it's about gameplay not graphics and so on and if you go by those rules then the Xbox One will be miles ahead for some time since there aren't any PS4 exclusives due any time soon that I think are worth buying a PS4 for.

    I was tempted to get two orders to exploit lazy parents at Christmas, but I'm not that mean.
  • The problem is, Sony have always had a larger market share in Europe anyway. So I imagine Microsoft have been trying to play damage limitation for the past couple of months now.
