Eh its waaaaaaaaay too early still to call something like that.

It really depends what kind of moves MS is able to make, and what kinds of software / pricing they can get to stay competitive.  Will they outsell the PS4 on a consistant basis? I hightly doubt it, but they will most likely be able to do it more than once every year, likely MUCH more than that.

People forget this is still the EARLY days of the generation. At this point in its lifespan people litteraly thought the PS3 was done for, the first 6 months for Sony were brutal, and all things considered the PS3 had a great lifespan.

That's why these "DOOM" proclomations are very unfounded. I do however think its safe to call Global console sales though, MS is NOT beating the PS4 globally this generation.

X1 is not the PS3 nor ill it ever come back like it.  There is little legit correleation between what PS3 did and chances X1 could ever pull of the same. 

Its all very well founded, sales are a big flashing red sign pointing to just that.  March events and NDp numbers are exactly that. 

You can't honestly belive current sales are the best the Xbox One will have, I mean for Christs sake Wii U is up YOY for hardly any reason, it has no 3rd pary support and really just the promise of a few exclusives on the horizons.

Do you honestly believe the One will only outsell the PS4 in NA during Halo week? I mean that, objectivley look at the question and tell me you belive that.  Because if so that's quite a shocking outlook.

Again your misunderstanding my entire point in this thread. Overall sales, X1 is fucked in terms of outselling the competition. The ship has sailed, its over. Sony won this generation. The momentum they have isn't something MS can get back.  But who knows how trends will go, which games that are new IP's could blow up, etc. I mean look at Gears of War, that game turned into a huge IP and now people are saying its one of the only weeks MS can win NA when the next one launches.

Again its WAY too early to make these kinds of large scale predictions and those that do end up looking very foolish when people dig these threads up years from now.
