Will the gap in sales between PS4 and X1 be greater or smaller in 2015?

The gap will definitely increase. PS4 will have a much better year thanks to all of the exclusives, especially in Japan while XB1 sales will fall off a cliff with the price going back to $399 and no exclusives for a long time. That being said, if the price doesn't go back up to $399 then it'll make this a lot harder to call

That simply won't happen. XBox has a stellar line up next year and don't forget that most system sellers are 3rd party not 1st party. The Order 1886 is unlikey to be a massive deal and Bloodborne has a very specific audience who are probably leaning sony anyway.

I'd say the gap will remain the same or increase slightly. The ground XB1 made in US isn't gonna vanish vanish overnight. A potential gap  increase will be from PS4 sales shooting through the roof in EU and finally finding its feat in Japan. In america I see Xbox dropping to levels slightly below PS4 which is far better then what we saw throughout the majority of this year.

I don't see why it could not happen in the future.

And first party games have the same potential to be system sellers as third party games. Series like Halo and Uncharted are pretty much the biggest system sellers for each specific console they release on.

In regards to The Order 1886 not being a massive deal, it is currently the highest pre-ordered game in America (the PS4's weakest market) with 152790 pre-orders ten weeks out from release. And while VGChartz is sometimes off with pre-orders it's almost always undertracking. The Order 1886 has gotten better with each showing and will likely be a massive release.

Bloodborne may has a specific audience but it is by no means small given prior entries have sold 1.75 million for demon souls, 1,9 million for dark souls and 1 million for dark souls 2 (coming out after ps4's release). Now the franchise is well known and back to being exclusive on the PS4 it may well top the two million mark.

I believe the gap will increase signifigantly as a result of these big releases as well as the China launch and Final Fantasy Type Zero setting the Japanese market on fire.
