the gap with re-increase again in ps4 favor after holiday

Doubtful. Xbox One is not going back to 399. Book it. It will stay at 349 and judging by the amazon rankings and just plain anecdotal evidence in retail stores, people seem happy with the 349 price tag. Then Microsoft will toss in a couple games here and there and that will boost sales some more. Sony has what? Order and Bloodborne? Thats not gonna be enough. Order will flop and Bloodborne is a niche title. Microsoft will have exclusive marketing rights for evolve, battlefield hardline, and the witcher. "Buy the battlefield hardline bundle and get another game of your choice for 349!" I can see the commercials now.

"66 percent for parents who purchased an Xbox One and 45 percent for those who bought a PS4."
XB1: 759,655 - 66% = 258k
PS4: 592,245 - 45% = 326k
The numbers actually show that even at 329$, PS4 would be leading.
XB1 made itself a holiday console, which is supported by the younger audience. It's well known that ps4 is a bit older than other fanbases, which concludes with support from the evidence above that sales will continue to be higher for ps4 come post-holiday.
Just a theory, but I'm 96% confident on this. 22% difference in unit sale. Jan NPD will be PS4...even if xb1 stayed at 329$. Next chance for contention probably during tax return season.
