Another point that some will have to grudgingly accept is 3rd party multiplatform titles are the dominant forces in the home console market.

X1X now does them better the PS4 and PS4 Pro and that in itself is going to attract customers who play games like Assassins Creed, COD and SW:BFII.

It's easy to spout off a dozen titles that are only on PS4, but most will never enter PS4's top 50 best sellers and will ultimately be a loss for the studios because at the end of the day more people care about COD than Nioh by a wide margin.

To clarify you are saying that X1X will sell due to it's superior power and therefore gamers will choose that console for their multi-platform games over say PS4 and PS4-Pro. In short X1X > PS4/PS4 Pro in future sales, correct?

So why don't you give a theoretical time scale for this swing around? Will we see this trend happen over Xmas, 1st quarter 2018, mid 2018 or end 2018? If you are confident about what you are saying, put a timeframe on it. Then we can revisit this thread in 3, 6, 9 and 12 months time and see how accurate your predictions are compared to others on this thread.

My prediction remains the same. After some initial good sales of the X1X in November/December, PS4 and PS4 Pro combined will continue to outsell X1X and Xbox One combined for the foreseeable future. NPD already showed that PS4/Pro outsold X1/X in the US alone, even though Microsoft launched before the Black Friday weekend. By March 2018, PS4/Pro will consistently outsell X1/X at a rate of 3:1 and above world wide, each month thereafter. With PS4/Pro hitting 100million (maybe more) total units by December 2018. Then in 2019, as PS4/Pro approaches 120million and X1/X goes close to 45million(maybe 50mill, but I doubt it) world wide, we'll see Microsoft bow out of the console market and focus on the Xbox branded PC. 

I look forward to reading your numbers. Its all a bit of fun :)

Did you just say Microsoft will leave console market by the end of 2019?
