Selling 2 Million + in 18 days or 14 days is great for both systems. This early on in the mix, that 1 week release lead here in the states is causing many to lose their minds. 5-6 weeks from now, the totals will start to make more sense and that 1 week will have a lot less impact on the total number.

Yes 1 week ahead in US but 1 week  behind in europe , it evens out or if you want to look at it another way it took xboxone 18 days to sell 2 mil and ps4 sold 1.9mil in  48 hrs of their respective NA and EU launches there or thereabouts,in terms of launch dates neither really had an advantage over the other yet ps4 is 600k ahead according to vgchartz,

If they both had launched in the same # of countries, then that would be kind of true.  Except that the US market is much larger than the EU for M$, and just the opposite for Sony.  Thats why I said that obviously Sony took a little less time (4 days) to achieve a similar #.  I don't think many people would argue against the idea that the PS4 would outsell the XB1 if both had an endless supply available today.  I think most people's point is that it is not as big of gap as many had predicted it would be by years end.  A lot of people thought 1.5-3 to 1 and it is 1.2 to 1 at this point...

Yes its a good turnaround by MS ,neither company is meeting demand yet but sony seems to be producing more consoles for whatever reason  and has more demand by all accounts but thats what i expected,with xboxone i always thought it could take off with word of mouth because of its tv ,snap and kinect features none of which impress me personally but i haven't written off xboxone yet  it could overtake ps4  in usa and uk but i think rest of world will be ps4
