You can't just base it on just the sales so early into this gen. Like I mentioned before, early into a gen, people will buy a console so they can play the games that will eventually have be on it, not because of it's starting line up or early gen games. Why did you buy an xbox one?  Was it because of the xbox one's starting line up, early gen releases or third party games? No.

You would damn well defend the xbox one if I tried to say that people didn't buy the xbox one for it's exclusives and for the exclusives that will eventually be released on it. It's the same for nintendo and sony's consoles. Sales data doesn't matter so much in this because you can't track the sales of games in the future and the reasoning behind why gamers buy what consoles they do. Gaming polls don't really work because of the small sample sizes or the means in which they are collecting data. 

 You're acting like it's a fluke that the PS4 is doing so well. The PS4 has 50% marketshare. It's normal for playstation's consoles to dominate their gens. Thei PS3 is the exception to that and rightly so. Sony overestimated what people would pay for backwards compatibility and for a console in general. 

 

I assure you most people aren't buying PS4 to eventually play the exclusives. People buy Playstation and Xbox primarily for 3rd party games that are generally multiplat. Hence, just because people buy PS4 doesn't mean they give a shit about Sony's 1st party. The proof of that is X1 and PS4's exclusive software sales being relatively close. X1's exclusive software right now is better and that's why it sells at par with PS4 exclusives even with a smaller userbase.

Did I say its a fluke PS4 is doing well? No, I said the opposite. I gave you reasons why PS4 is doing so well. MS pushed people away early on with the X1 (price, DRM, etc) and that did damage they will never recover from. Sony did the same with PS3, the Playstation brand never recovered from some damage PS3 did which is why Xbox is still a major competitor.
