Let's assume the 10 million mark would be crossed by one or the other by the end of the year.
Nintendo has sell a little over 4 million units of hardware in 10 months.
Microsoft has to sell a little over 6.5 million units of hardware in 10 months.
During a similar timespan last year, Nintendo sold 2 million hardware units of Wii U. During much of the summer, Wii U was scraping by with about 20k weekly worldwide. With MK8 fresh on the shelves and recent releases like 3D World, Donkey Kong and other games SSB on the horizon, is it impractical to assume Nintendo could at least double what are considered horrible sales? No. That's only going "really bad" to "slightly less bad" and within the realm of ration possibility.
For XOne to sell at the 650k/month pace, it would have to match or outsell what the PS4 is currently doing. How likely is that going to happen?
I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016
