I don't quite understand what you're trying to demonstrate - there appears to be a step missing in your argument.

What was it about outselling the PS4 one week of the year that would have been the Xbox One's saviour? More to the point, was is it about failing to do that this week that should particularly worry Microsoft?

Is your concept that anything other than first place in this console cycle will result in failure? Is it that failing to win this week just gone worldwide will substantially influence Microsoft's long-term sales, potential for profit or ability to attract large games?

And whether this does or does not worry Microsoft (I suspect it does not worry them at all), why would a relatively niche title (Bloodborne) or new IP that has received mediocre press (The Order) cause them to substantially shift in either direction?

I think its more likely that Microsoft will look at the steps they have taken, look at the dramatic improvement in their market position in the last few weeks, and be quite pleased.

what is a niche title for you?

I said relatively. Certainly compared to Halo.

Ultimately though it is a title of moderate sales, extreme difficulty and horror themes (or so we assume, based on the past titles that represent the reason people want this game!).
