This gap will just keep increasing, so something tells me that somtime around E3 2015 they will anounce the PS4 is 3:1 to the x1.

What do you guys think?

Have you actually done the math on this?

Taken the worst case scenario that X1 will only sell 8 million consoles by the end of this year. That would mean PS4 would have to do 24 million until mid june.

Still seems achievable?

People need to learn the difference between linear and exponential groth.

This^^

Lets say that Xone sells 10 million consoles LTD at june 2015.(Worst case scenario and kind of impossible imo)

This means that PS4 would have to reach 30 million LTD at june 2015.

Is this possible for PS4? sure! Next year PS4 is full of exclusives and third party marketing.

on the other hand,do you really think Xbox one will only sell 10 million until june?

That is really close to what I'm predicting. Like 11m, a bit more but not more than 12m. Next year will be worst than this year for the x1. They haveno games after this holiday so sales will plumet and quantom brake canot hold them afloat. 

Next year will be bigger for the ps4, this year they will end at like 16-17m, so 30-35m is not out of the question. Dificult, but posible.

Yeah, this year after 7 months the Xbone has sold a bit less than 2 million. 2 million in 7 months. Yes, it will launch in many other territories including China this fall, and it's also cheaper now than in its first 6 months. Also there will be some major bundles available this fall, and MCC is going to move some decent numbers. However, its performance in Europe is the key factor. That's where the PS4 is killing it. If by the end of this year the Xbone isn't capable of making a dramatic push in Europe, I can't see it making more than 2 million total between November and December, on the strength of USA basically.  That would leave it at around 8 million at the start of 2015. PS4 is going to be closer to 20 million by Jan '15 if it keeps tracking this way. Destiny bundle and PS4 sales are going to explode next month.
