Just looking at the hardware so far worldwide on the Vgchartz home page and ps4 has a staggering ~73% of the pie. (I've not included handheld consoles like the 3DS or PSV). This comparison is between traditional home consoles only.
Looking at the data ps4 has always had a dominant first few months of the year but never this dominant. Interesting figures probably not seen since the ps2 days.
Given the fact the Wii U has almost collapsed, this is hardly surprising. For most of the year, the gap is around 2.5:1- 3:1 against the XB1, and then the margin is always improved by the holidays.
Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

This doesn't surprise me. XB1 is popular in North America, where the holiday season is a bigger deal. As for Wii U, I'm surprised it even registered.
I WON A BET AGAINST AZUREN! WOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
:3
Yeah that's going to go below 40% as soon as the Switch hits the market...
I mean, the WiiU is kind of already dead for this year, so it was a two-way contest (which the PS4 soundly won against XBox, but that's nothing new...)
Bet with PeH:
I win if Arms sells over 700 000 units worldwide by the end of 2017.
Bet with WagnerPaiva:
I win if Emmanuel Macron wins the french presidential election May 7th 2017.

"In video game terms, RPGs are games that involve a form of separate battles taking place with a specialized battle system and the use of a system that increases your power through a form of points.
Sure, what you say is the definition, but the connotation of RPGs is what they are in video games." - dtewi
Obv the year will end much differently, Xbox has a very slow start of the year with excellent games coming at the end of the year with Sea of Thieves, Cuphead, Cities Skylines, Path of Exile and Crackdown 3 & State of Decay 2 being console sellers.
Now we can pretty much assume Forza Motorsport 7 will also arrive this year and show some real 4k splender on the Scorpio since its a game that has had no problems on 1080p/60FPS on the console and I can confirm the engine is a true champ on PC.
Also the Switch with Mario, Zelda and Splatoon and a much better naming & system overall then the Wii-U will leave its oler brother way behind.
The PS4 on the other hand has started the year in LEGENDARY fashion with Nioh, Yakuza, Horizon, Persona, Nier and more its just an early year to remember.
Obv. Ps4 will remain the king for this entire generation but I do believe the Xbox One will come closer then before and the Switch will be a competitor and before the generation is done the Xbox One will outsell the PS4 in NA and the Switch will outsell the PS4 in Japan, I think.

What're you talking about? It's absolutely possible for the Xbox One to beat the PS4 in sales in the US.
