If you go back to those other years, the PS3 was outselling the 360 in the early months of the year by the same margins that you have mentioned. True, the 360 did have a better market position in the US before. I think that the US market is starting to stabalise for the XB1 and like I said, M$ will do whatever it takes to bring the US market back to atleast parity if not in favor of the XB1.
I would think that the english speaking concept is true. That only falls in line with what I am saying. The big increases match with the large amount of big shooter titles that come out at the end of each year. Because the XB1 has a console exclusive shooter coming out this holiday season, it will entice people to go that route. Heck, we have seen a number of people talking about picking up the XB1 this holiday even though they already have the PS4 just to get it. With Battlefield being pushed to next year, that is one less reason to go with the PS4 - even though it was not console exclusive. Every console exclusive title gains more traction when the 3rd party titles move to a leter date.
I will say it again, the PS4 should still outsell the XB1 worldwide this holiday season by a long shot. But, in the US, November and December could be 50/50 or even move to the XB1 ide of things.

Your hope is shooters is misplaced, PS4 and X1 were tied there with ghosts and BF4. But Wolfenstein numbers show X1 has even managed to even lose 360 ardent FPS advantage.
PS4 550k X1 290k. Worse PS4 version out sold the X1 in NA, 200k to 170k. Not a big number but telling where the shooter market is headed. And its towards PS4 not X1.

The shooter that I alluded to was the Halo MCC. Because it is exclusive and it draws at the heartstrings of every Xbox fan, it has a bigger factor than ANY 3rd party title. The MCC isn't the end all, but it is a system exclusive shooter that can bring some of the early adopters back to the platform and those just getting ready to join in are likely to jump on board with the XB1 until the PS4 has more exclusives towards the end of 2015.
I would have to look up the numbers on COD and BF on the XB1/PS4, but i will just have to believe you. I assume that you mean that the sales of the PS4 version of these games are 60% to PS4 and 40 % to XB1 to match what we are discussing. If they are total units equal, then you just proved the exact opposite based on install base of the PS4 vs the XB1.
