Can Xbox One Pass PS4 Globally in the USA this Year?

I think X1 will outsell PS4 between 3/3.5:1 this holiday in the US, with the best price, games and UI on the market. Most if not all of the million gap in the US will be closed in that time. The same thing will happen in the UK.

Europe is trickier, but again, with the best line up of games, I would expect the gap to start closing. The landscape of this generation will be very different at the end of the next two months. If MS decide to cut the cost in UK & Europe too I think we may see a bloodbath

Retailers are slashing XB1 below Microsoft's new lower retail price and including games on top in the UK. That would not indicate a console that is selling like "hot cakes".

(cheapest bundle I've seen is £319.99 with LEGO Marvel in Sainsburys) though for £349.99 you can have it with Sunset Overdrive and Call of Duty Advanced Warfare. Which again, is Call of Duty completely free.

I can see it outselling the PS4 in the US in November and possibly December, but I certainly don't think it's going to be anywhere near 2:1, let alone the 3+:1 you expect.

1.2:1 would seem more realistic. unless you expect PS4 sales to drop through the floor.
