Sony is the market leader. They have momentum. Winning shouldn't be a surprise.

Especially in the modern market, if I buy a console I want the same console as my other friends have, and if more of them have a PS4, I'm going to get the PS4 so we can play online together.

It doesn't matter what deals Microsoft puts up really to that extent. I'm not going to get an XBox One just to save maybe $50 and not be able to play with my friends online for the next 5 years. $50 doesn't even buy you a new game these days, it's a cheap dinner and a movie with the girlfriend, big whoop. 

This about sums it up, In this ever increasing online gaming enviroment you and your friends all need the same console. In earlier gen's in never really mattered and was actually great to get different to what your friends had and bounce between each others houses to play everything.

NPD actually seems lower all round than I thought was expecting 220k+ both Xbox One and PS4.
