January is just 4 weeks.... just saying. 

After 2 months at 350, the sales on the half the month must have been terrible.. even so it managed to recover against a non supply constrain first january and still win. Great result. 

Win what? Software? And if we're being specific.

Potential hardware impacting events in January:
Summary
XB1 Holiday $50 price drop ends, so price increase to $400 - Jan. 3 (12 days)
New 3DSXL announced for U.S. release on Feb. 13 - Jan. 15 (17 days)
XB1 price dropped back to $350 - Jan. 16 (16 days)
PS4 TLOU bundle $400 - Jan. 23 (9 days)

It's not "great" by any stretch of the word. "Deserved" maybe? This NPD only exposes problems for both. 

Waning demand for the PS4 means Sony needs to get their butts in gear and release some games/price cut and deals/add features/ etc.

Poor momentum for XB1 sales rate means they have to boost the value proposition and maintain their sales rate.

Unless of course, "closing the gap" has gone the way of "competing in a country other than us/uk" and "competing world wide"? Can we just wrap up closing the US gap, to increasing YoY on its previous dismal year now?

LOL

Win against XBO first January, I didn't even mention your favorite console.

And again, my analyzes are on XBO sales, which amount for 2 week worth after 2 misleading weeks where it gone up in price. 

Seriously, you are so fixed in defending Ps4 that you forgot to try reading (and understanding) my post. I didn't talk about completion XBO vs Ps4 there.
