not this year. PS4 has Destiny, but X1 has Halo. Of course PS4 will rape everything until 2018, but doubles X1 this year ? no, it won't

Errrrr...... as of this post

 

  • PS4 8.1M 
  • XB1 4.5M
That means the PS4 has a lead of 3.6M. all it needs to double the XB1 is 400k. I have it pegged at august Cause the PS4 pulls ahead by around (at least) 150k every month. However, even if i am wrong, this fall will not only gurantee that the PS4 double the XB1 but it would do so emphatically.

 

3.6m plus 400k is not 4.5m.

But even if you assume that the PS4 adds at least 150k units to its lead over the X1 each month, you didn't take into account that the X1 total will increase, meaning that the necessary 4.5m lead to double X1 sales only holds true as long as the X1 sits at 4.5m units.

Sorry I meant 900k.

900k is how much more of a lead the PS4 needs to make up to double the XB1. The only way that number gets higher than 900k is if the XB1 starts selling better than the PS4 worldwide.

And with my 150k estimate i was actually lowballing it. The PS4 has been consistently doing more than 2:1 sales over the XB1 all year so far. That means even if you take intio account the XB1 sales going up, as long as the PS4 keeps doing more close to 2:1 worldwide sales over the XB1 it will still double it in sales by at least the end of this year. Especially during the fall season when sales are known to sometimes be 4 times as much as the mothly average during the the slower months.
