How well will the first week at $400 predict the future for XB1?

A year in the generation is plenty to tell, the xb1 will not take over sales wise, unless Sony disontinue the PS4 altogether.

 - It is weaker than the PS4, people looking f

 - It does not have Nintendo games (nothing like a proper Mario Kard, Zelda or a Metroid game anyway)

 - Arguably better deals were offered for a while before Titanfall was released, the sales barely picked up upon release

 - Most people who have friends who moved on to the "next gen", those friends bought PS4s, they saw it, showed it, talked about it... trash talked the console they did not get (just like XB1 buyers did for the PS4), ultimately these things tend to snowball, the PS4's ball is rolling pretty well and the snow is sticky, so it will only pick up momentup in the next holiday...

Now, does that mean that there will not be a few gems in the xb1 library, no, Sunset Overdrive looks like it will be such a game.. but the PS4 will keep having most of the attention.

Except the whole.. we aren't a YEAR into the generation..We are 7 months in.. we still have 40% of the first YEAR of the generation left.    At least for the X1 and PS4..    

We all know X1 won't take over sales... but it still can become a lot more competitive.  The Wii U and X1 both could move into positions where they aren't lagging behind monthly sales of the PS4 by much..  We could easily still have a generation where all the consoles sell within just a 5-10 million of eachother...  You never know.  The PS4 will likely take the global lead this generation. Just by how much we don't know.. also depends on how long this generation is.
