• This may sound crazy, but its possible that next year the XB1 will sell even less than it did this year. Call it a hunch..... but my reasoning is cause of the momentum PS4 will build going into the year with Bloodborne and the order. Two AAA games in the first 3 months of the year and nothing from MS.

 

I really can't see this happening. Xbox might be down in January, because this year it had the launch momentum, but all of those next gen exlcusive 3rd party games will push the xbox even further then it has been this year.  Even if the PS4 does have The order and Bloodborne, I don't think it'll steal enough of the XO's potential market to push it below 2014 levels. Don't forget that although it has an empty Q1 in terms of exclusives, unlike the PS4 it has a fairly strong holiday line up to carry it into 2015. Both systems should be up massively YOY throughout 2015.  

Yup, you are right and  that was probably a silly prediction. I was really just going off the momentum the PS4 will have going into the tsart of the year and how the first 3 months wll look on the software side. Having said that, there are actually quite a large number of games that are going to be coming to teh PS4 next year too. Just off the top of my head, The witness, No mans sky....etc

I guess a 20% YOY increase in total sales may be more reasonable.
