Simple math says you are wrong. 

As of January 2014, PS4 was ~4.2M and XB1 was ~3.3M. Approximately 30% lead to the PS4.

As of January 2015, PS4 is 18.5 and XB1 is ~11M. That's approximately a 42% advantage to the PS4.

As long as the PS4 keeps selling better than the XB1 every year, then it means its overall lead is growing and it will just be a matter of time. Having said that, I don't think its happening this year, but maybe around 2016/2017.

The same thing was explained to you last summer.

Your conclusion (bolded) is easily disproven when we put LTD by end of 2015 for PS4 at 30m and One at 20m. That translates to 11.5m and 9m for the year, respectively, so the PS4 was selling better in this example. However, the PS4's advantage shrinks to 33%.

EDIT: Something doesn't add up here. At first I thought it was my mistake, but then I realized that it's yours. For the first percentage, you used the Xbox One LTD as 100% basis, but for the second percentage you used the PS4 as 100% basis.

Yeah, it's actually a 68% advantage
