Why do u call it 4:1? I'd like for that to be true, but I don't see how that checks out.

I actually am not so sure XBO is all that far behind ps4 in sales at the present moment. Certainly not like it was beginning of November. Currently the XBO bundles are fairly high up compared to last month it seems. Highest last month was FO bundle, typically around #45 iirc. Whereas right now there are 2 XBO bundles in the  top 35 with another two at number 53 and 62. Last one at #90. Plus, XBOs sales are fragmented across 10 other bundles, whereas ps4 sales are focused on just 4 or 5. 

Gamestop is even closer right now, shockingly:

ps4 #13

xbo #14

ps4 #33

ps4 #44

xbo #47

xbo #53

ps4#87

 

So, it's essentially a ps4 #33 and #87 vs a XBO #53. Certainly not a massacre. I know this has come alongside major MS deals to counteract Ps4s BO3 deal, but Sony has the majority of the marketing this holiday. I'm surprised it's not a bit more of a blowout. Maybe my expectations were too high haha

Preorders...those PS4 bundles that were crushing X1 bundles last month (SW/BOIII) count towards November sales.

Ah yes. I'm aware of those preorders, but I've been overlooking them lately. Yeah those will be massive.

Tho I'm still surprised at the current sales trends. I think the gap will widen significantly, however, in a few days--after FO4 and all of MSs crazy defensive deals.
