Not yet at 2:1.
Let's wait for the next adjustments.

I don't think it will increase. Unless MS stops supporting the X1 after 2015.

There is missing a never option. I don't think I'm the only person who thinks that PS4 will never reach triple the sales of X1.

At current trend the PS4 would tripple the sales of X1.

VGC Tracking PS4 : XB1 Apr-July
558K : 210K
539K : 172K
662K : 314K
546K : 226K

Sony's announcement is 30% higher than VGC tracking.

Adjusted VGC PS4 : XB1 Apr-July
744K : 210K
719K : 172K
861K : 314K
710K : 226K

Ratio PS4 : XB1 Apr-July
3.5 : 1
4.2 : 1
2.7 : 1
3.1 : 1

Add in TLOU this month, and Destiny next month and this trend will continue.  It's up to Halo to save X1.

PS4 will never reach 3:1 by constantly selling 3:1. It needs to do at least 4:1 on a regular basis to reach 3:1 in a timely manner.

Yes that's true - it would need to sell over 3:1.  If it sold around 3.5:1 then it would be at 3:1 LTD in a couple of years.

Personally I don't think PS4 will be able to keep this trend next year, but one possibility is that PS4 would reach a 3:1 LTD late in life.  This is because the dominant console would eventually get more developer support than the underdog.  Also the dominant console is more likely to keep selling while the underdog dies an abrubt death (e.g. PS2 vs XB).

Oh and if PS4 manages to spark interest in Japan with MGS5, Final Fantasy, etc. then it will contribute to the gap.  Right now it's selling 3:1 with minor sales in Japan.
