Ms could be in a really bad situation here. Only the 2tb version is outselling the PS4 which indicates it's largely a replacement console, which means the retailers will have thousands of second hand XB1s to sell. That in turn could cause a slight slump in sales of new consoles. Then you have bundles for $100 less than the PS4 getting easily beaten by a PS4 bundled with ONE old game and just the PS4 by itself, which shows a lack of consumer interest. After an inevitable surge in sales once the slim lanches and Christmas hype propping up sales, I can see a huge slump in the offing. And this is before Sony does anything at all.

 The 2tb comes out in 3 days and the 500 GB is 3 weeks, give it time. I don't think Amazon is the best judge for savvy consumers considering the basic ps4 is regularly in the top 100.

For July? PS4 looks to have it. Though X1 S doesn't count towards July, it'll likely win August

i see, thank you. I alson think X1 will take august.

Put me down on that bet :)  XB1 will again soon have a month won.

We're STILL going there after three years? Astonishing.

I don't think MS is in a bad situation.  The Madden bundle rarely charts in Amazon and the Halo bundle has a bunch of old games and probably won't start doing well until later in the year similar to the Gears UE bundle last year.
