There's still quite a gap between the ps4 and Xbox One in the US, over 1.7 million I think. I fully expect the S to give the Xbox a nice boost, but that's not going to vanish overnight. 

I think the better question is can the XB1 S maintain performance after launch? Once the novelty factor wears off, it comes down to the software keeping the baseline high. I'm confident Forza Horizon 3 will do very well, but I'm shaky with ReCore and Gears 4.

Yeah, I hear you. I'm sure Horizon will critically review very well, but the last one had fairly light sales, if I remember correctly. Gears 4 will do well, but I'm not sure it's going to approach Gears 2 or 3, and I have no idea what to think about Recore. I have to admit, that was my biggest disappointment of E3, it just looked rough. I thought it would be one of those Xbox exclusives that would cater to my tastes (I only have a PS4 at the moment) but it didn't do much for me at all. I don't see it doing too well at retail.
