That and the PS3 was a superior machine. It was expensive in it's early days due to the Blu Ray player, but as the generation has gone on and Blu Ray is now being pushed as the advanced DVD experience, Having a cheap blue ray that also plays games is more appealing than one that does not have Blu Ray capabilities. Currently you can get an Xbox 250GB model for £120. This is more expensive that then 320GB Slim PS3 which is £110. Sony won in the long run against Microsoft.

This is the reason that I omitted it from my previous list of exclusives for the Xbox One. If a game has the option to be played on the PC over the consoles then that's going to cripple it. I did some research there and I cannot find any data to suggest the sales figures per format. Just that there are 925K sales at last count, and 60% of these are for the Xbox One. That's 555k sales by m count. That's pretty bad for a "Big Title". Even Super Mario 3D world sold 2.17 Million copies.

I don't want to assume, but I think Microsoft is in trouble here. With the poor sales figures and the constant change in polices the Xbox one is clearly the weakest of all three consoles at the minute.
