I believe Xbox will come out on top because the majority of the sales come from NA and I'm sure Xbox will close the gap or even surpassed ps4 by november. Microsoft also have advertisement advantage on their hand. That said, the gap between the two will be much closer than it was last gen.

hehehehehe........

People really think that the only reason that the PS4 is selling better than the XB1 in NA is due to price.

Because that pretty much IS the reason, plus most M$ fans were still content with their 360s during last holiday season since just about every major 3rd party title was released on it.

What's funny about this thread though is that all last gen we heard how the 360 was the dumb "shooter box" for the "dudebro" gamers, and COD was the biggest love-to-hate-it offender of the bunch, while the PS3 was the real gamer's choice and was all about the 1st party exclusives.  Fast forward to today, and my how the tables have turned...

3 out of the top 5 best selling PS4 games are FPS, only one of the top 5 is an exclusive, and look who's leading the way at #1.  Now all of a sudden COD is awesome again because it's selling more on Sony's console than it is on M$'s.

In any event, I think for the next COD the X1 version will edge out the PS4 version in sales, but Destiny will sell more on PS4 and be the biggest title of the fall for the console (and surprise, it's another FPS!)

I look forward to your reaction when Microsoft announces that they're leaving the console space.
