But only if the hardware sales create the install base. Sure, sales don't have to be spectacular, but they have to be significantly better than they were for the first 5 months of 2014. June NPD is not a basis for concluding a significant improvement in sales long term.

@ the baseball analogy. I would say MS has got one man on base with Sony having hit 2 homers, so if Sony strikes out then MS has a chance of hitting a home run and drawing level. The game ain't over and we're not even in the middle innings. But for now there's nothing to indicate that MS can take a lead in the immediate future.

Anyway a cricket analogy would work better, but fewer people understand that than baseball so I won't bother.


Bad analogy really IMO.

More like a football analogy of PS4 being Germany and XB1 being Brazil. :p
