Will PS4 reach 20M HW sales before Xbone reaches 10M?

I agree on that ! Especially, the PS4 becoming the de facto standard, and the XOne near irrelevance in Europe. It makes the situation for the XOne far worst than what the data show for the average sales on 2014-2015. I can't think about anything that would make me believe that the XOne can achieve 1:2.

I agree with a lot of those points, but I never underestimate Microsoft's ability.

In fact last time I mentioned that, they soon after they announced the Tomb Raider exclusivity.  Damn I hate being right

Imagine if Microsoft got FFXV as XB1 exclusive, that would piss people off and cause more damage to PS4 than good for XB1.  But if you find that hard to believe just think they paid $2.5 billion for Mojang.  They can definitely write a cheque big enough for Square Enix to go XB1 exclusive.  That would really suck .

You can probably relax. x3 Minecraft's got a multi-platform advantage, i.e. it's on PC, mobile, consoles, nearly every platform under the sun, so whatever benefits Microsoft's figuring to get, it's going to be for their entire ecosystem, not simply the Xbox platform. The odds of Microsoft dropping anywhere near that sum for a property ONLY to bolster the Xbox platform are pretty small, as they've got next to no chance of ever seeing a return that's worth it. Heck, by the sound of it, they're not even going to be that restrictive in terms of what platforms they go with Minecraft. xP
