In my opinion, you should've never included the KINECT. THAT...by itself, would have opened up a WORLD of options. Better graphics card, larger RAM, equal or lower price at launch...it would've been a 12-round FIGHT. Now, for the moment, all signs point to a NO CONTEST decision.

It doesn't seem to be an argument of whether the PS4 will handily beat the XB1 in total sales.

I think the XB1 will have been succesful if it sells 70 million plus.  The reality is the PS4 will probably sell 120 million if that is the case.

70 million+ lifetime?  I'll take a bet with you or anybody else on vgchartz.com that the Xbox One doesn't reach 10 million sales, according to VGChartz, by COB December 31st, 2014.  The loser gets a lifetime permaban.  I mean, if Microsoft planned for a 7-year life cycle, and by your estimations that 70 million+ would make them profitable, SURELY they can hit 10 million in 13 months, consisting of TWO Christmas holidays, right?
