Yep, up to a 3% chance from 1%.

Absolutely nothing other than pulled-from-their-rear numbers supports this prediction. It's ahead of the start the PS3 had, and by a company that isn't deep in the red, year over year. The X1 is selling well behind the PS4, but it's still sold very well, thus far. Once it's flagship titles start releasing, there's no reason to think it won't recover.

But I'm glad people are making these predictions immediately before any sales data from the price drop. That way we can potentially see these "doom" threads crash and burn almost immediately.

No the X1 is not selling very well.  People need to be honest about its sales.  

Yes the flagships, as if PS4 does not have its own and more of them.  

It took the PS3 18 months to hit the sales the X1 is at in under a year.

It's start isn't spectacular like the PS4, but it's doing just fine. It's low this week, but it's the  week before an announced price cut. Remember PS3's sales leading up to the slim?

And how does that help your argument? If MS puts a pricecut on the X1, Sony can do the same (especially when Sony is already profiting from hardware). If MS releases Halo 5, Sony will release Uncharted 4. Also, X1 (and the PS4) had the luxury of having plenty of stock at launch. After launch is when things look worrisome. The X1's first April in the US, for example, is significantly worse than any of 360's Aprils in the US (except for 2014).
