 just pointing out for anyone thinking the holidays will some how help X1. 

 

incase you havent seen, XB1 did have a big increase in sales from last week, and a pretty big one from its normal baseline. holidays will certainly help xb1 sales grow a lot. will it beat PS4? no. will the holiday help the xb1 boost sales. certainly. 

You say that as if there are people claiming xb one will sell about the same as it's summer/early autumn baseline. No one is saying that. Of course Xb one sales will go up during the holidays. That's not the issue. The issue is whether holiday sales will be good or bad for that time of year. If Xb one averages 250k per week in December that's a huge boost above baseline, but it's pretty weak sales for December.

 

I think it's difficult to predict where xb one will land with consumers this holiday except to say that on a global basis PS4 will almost certainly beat the pants off it.
