Quark,

  If you look at the sales charts starting in Jan 2016, the problem is X1 weekly sales are dropping much faster than PS4 sales. In January alone PS4 is outselling X1 by 3:1. Last year PS4 *never* got close to 2:1. Now extrapolate those number when games like Uncharted are released in April? I'd be surprised if April sales aren't 4:1, then by next Christmas, with a price drop, I see PS4 staying in the 3.5:1 ro 4:1 ratio from the end of this year. Microsoft won't sellin 7.5 million again, unless Sony mess up, or QB is the best game ever released in the history of gaming. Or another similar exclusive. Those are the only scenarios I see where Microsoft could hit some impressive targets.

I doubt uncharted 4 has that much of an effect, but I see the reason behind it, I still think it's a bit too early to say the Xone is already doomed and a new Gears and QB can still do wonders for the Xone. Besides Sony surely will screw something up, but MS got to have a wonderful E3 to assure gamers the Xone is still a good console and worth owning for various reasons, bringing exclusives to PC just isn't, but if I look at Splatoon one might say everything is possible.

So Quark, what are your thoughts now that Microsoft have pretty much made it official that the Xbox One will NOT have any true exclusives? That, it seems to me, they are focusing on PC and allowing the Xbox One to disappear in sales. 

Also worth noting that In February sales again showed PS4 outselling Xbox One 3:1. You still convinced this will change? QB to the rescue??
