First Week sales are up
XB1: 300k
PS4: 150k

The gap is already very large, and with AC: Unity and Halo: MCC coming out next week, the gap will grow further. Now I'd like to see what all the people who expected PS4 to win have to say.

That's not a large gap when you consider that November still has Black Friday week. Microsoft's offers in early November have been so good that they undoubtedly shifted sales from Black Friday into earlier weeks; why should people wait when the current deals are already so good? Meanwhile, Sony hasn't made any special offers yet, so all the people who waited for those are still waiting.

If the question is if Sony can beat Microsoft by 300k+ units in Black Friday week, then the answer is a clear "yes".

That is a large gap, and one day alone cannot make up for all of that, as even on Black Friday XB1 has better deals than PS4.
