I'm pretty sure he is talking about overall, not YOY.  The gap increased this year to back over 1M, while in 2014 MS was able to make a comeback in Q4 and erase a lot of the gap for that year.  I believe it went back to ~600K-700K by the start of 2015.

Oh. He meant the LTD gap? Yeah, by October 2014 the gap in the U.S. had grown to about 1150k, but after the XBO won last holiday the gap shrank to about 750k. The gap is now back over 1.1M.

With the PS4s lineup of exclusives I could see the gap increase to around 2.5m.

PS4 will have an easy win in January

Compared to last year
+Price Parity
+More games
+Starting with more momentum


The again Amplitude HD alone is enough to excite me. Hope it's as good as I remember.

I could see the ps4 winning every month next year except maybe march and the summer month that crackdown might launch.

Actually, the gap shrank to about 550k after last holiday season. The XBO won by ~400k last November and ~200K last December.

I can't see anything this year (gah nearly wrote next year...hah) that will shrink the gap, expect to see Sony be aggressive this year as they look to extend their lead.

It will be tough for Microsoft to ever win with price parity, especially now that Halo isn't what it was, they really need to try and make Halo big like it used to be.

I wonder if the awesome promo video helped the bump or if this is just the status quo for the new year.

The promo vid won't have had any impact just yet.
