The sales numbers represent the PS4 fanbases hunger for AAA content. Everyone talks up the indie games like they are gold til the real deal is available. Just think, this fall when some more AAA games come out on the PS4, they will sell really well too.

Not sure I follow. If there's a lack of AAA content on the PS4, then there must be a lack of AAA content on the X1 as well. That doesn't explain the huge discrepancy. I also think you can have "Gold" Indie titles and your heavy hitters like this. Lest we forget a little Indie game by the name of Minecraft, who's sales dominate most retail/AAA releases.

In any event, with this situation, I'd say it's more along the lines of hype + feedback + open world + exclusive content/marketing. This is in addition to the current "go-to" machine for multiplatform games that is the PS4, hence the gap.

I would say you followed quite well.  You just disagree with my thoughts.  I think that the XB1 has had more AAA games so far.  Will that be true 6-9 months from now?  Probably not, as release schedules will even things out over time and eventually(based on past performance) the PS4 will have a good deal more.

Minecraft is quite a phenomenon.  I will say, it plays a lot like a F2P game.  The creators of it have really made out like bandits.  They too have enjoyed the bonus of coming to the 360 when M$ wasn't releasing any content.  For a lack of something else to play, the game gained quite a bit of noteriety.  Now, they have a strong brand and have it available everywhere.

As far as the gap goes, it makes sense either way with the install base + a general hunger for new games on these next gen systems.
