Now let's compare with the PS4 launch (thanks for the quick reference to the numbers above)...

23 K - 322 K = 7% - 93%

Now I remember my estimates between XB1 and PS4 from 1 year earlier, and this is what I had to say

My estimates for HD Consoles, given below, are assumed to hold.

 a) Japan      => XB1 :    <10% vs PS4 : >90%
 b) Europe     => XB1 : 15-25 % vs PS4 : 75-85%
 c) N. America => XB1 :  35-45% vs PS4 : 55-65%
 d) Global     => XB1 :  24-33% vs PS4 : 67-76%

Given the initial buyers are usually hardcore gamers, the more casual gamers usually tend to prefer the more popular console, so we can only expect the situation to be either steady or go worse for XB1. If the rates were not already too low, I would suggest a definite worsening but in this kind of situations where numbers are too low, what they call a "mean reversal" may happen, since there is no hardly any way but to go up.

Damn, I love being correct with all my estimates! Science just works...
