Eh, Amazon rankings for month : PS4 ahead.

The deal for X1 was also much better than the previous deal for PS4 :

$175 X1 : http://www.gamespot.com/articles/how-to-buy-a-new-xbox-one-for-175/1100-6426937/

$275 PS4 : https://games.yahoo.com/news/buy-ps4-275-194900387.html

I do think the margin will be low, because like last month, sales will be terrible.

I wasn't aware of theses deals.

MS is showing real desperation in their own land...

Indeed.  And the losses they are taking on the Xbox One specifically are why I think they will leave the console market first.  They will keep the Xbox brand as a platform of sorts, a rival to Steam and perhaps a service that even extends to other consoles.  However, I highly doubt they will continue in the dedicated console market.  The hardware side and the brand in general have not been profitible over all for them and MS hasn't become what they are by letting branches hemorage money with no apparent returns.
