I guess we will see a repition of the 360 sales. Not good, not bad during the year, comes holiday sales will see a huge spike.
There were many threads last gen which concluded a PS3 massive lead because of sales throughout the year but 360 had its highest sales towards the end of the year and so won back a lot of what PS3 gained in lead.

wishful thinking if you sincerely believe thats what will happen this gen. And theer are a lot of obvious reasons why this isn't going to be the case. 

Simply put, at the end of november and in one territory only. The XB1 may have a 200k lead over the PS4 in NA. MAY. But will still lose to the PS4 worldwide by at least 80k for that moneth if not more. So all its pulling back is 100k-200k in NA but still falling behind by 80k for the month worldwide. And whats even funnier, is that the 100k-200k it pulls back the PS4 will get back again in january+febuary 2015 for that territory. Then go on to slowly build another 1M+ lead in that one territory through the year.

All MS is doing so far is slowing just how quickly it gets outsold by the PS4. But the gap is still grwoing at what must be a troubling rate for them.


I think you misunderstood what I said. The main part is the first paragraph, the other one is just showing what happened before. It is not to be used as an analogy to what will happen this gen. Relax, ps4 will win. I was just taking about the spike.
