Still no word from MS on XBone sales. I'm beginning to question if they've even sold through that 10 million shipped yet. They shouldn't be being so hush hush.

OT: PS4 broke the 20 million mark! Woooo!


Xbox broke 10 millions for sure, but that is it... i realy think that they are close, but still under, 12 million.

Ps4 advantage is something like 70%, and soon Ps4 will have 50% market share over WiiU and X1! mark my words, this will be a short gen! Microsoft will lauch a new Xbox  in the next 4 years and will try to go for a 1 year lead over Playstation, lust like the Xbox360... the same goes for Nintendo, Next gen nintendo system coming in 3-4 year ( max)

I strongly don't think this gen will be short, simply because MS is lagging behind in sales. It just doesn't work that way.

With the XB to 360, there was a proper reason to jump into a new gen. The jump from the SD to the HD generation. More importantly, there was a level a gaming an SD console just couldn't match. There was also a shift to HDTVs and people were hungry for HD devices to plug into their new TVs. None of those surrounding factors exist today. Today, as it stands there isn't a game made for the current gen that can't in some shape or form run on last gen hardware. 

Simply put, there is no justifiable reason for Microsoft to jump start a new gen, what's the draw going to be? the would end up with a console that wouldn't even be able to handle 4k gaming and everything that console runs will run just fine on the PS4. What MS needs to do now is consolidate their user base and focus on making a profit.
