Xbox founder: PS4 wins the console war 'by a nose'

Since when was a nearly 2:1 lead considered "by a nose"?

I think he's referring to the US marketplace.

I think not. Looking at PS4 and Xbox One US sales its pretty much a tie. Or not that huge a gap to call PS4 the winner of the 8th Gen (US) console war.

It's somewhat incomprehensible to narrow the perspective down to one country. The console war envelopes the 'whole' globe.

What i think he had in mind, that Microsoft had a good starting point and was on Sonys heels at the beginning, with the possibility to stay close - even though they bobbled the launch. Compared to the first Xbox, which was dead on arrival. To be considered, he is saying this now, when we are only one and a half year into the 8th generation. This "war" isn't over, not by a long shot. So all he is doing is giving a little projection. A legitmate one i'd say. Because it ain't over till the fat lady sings. MS has inarguably some system-sellers up the sleeve.

In short: Only the future will tell if he is right or wrong.
