awesome x1 numbers
i think next month xbox will finally beat ps4 for the first time in 2016 npd

i would not be suprised, if the xb1 will win all npds until neo release or the next ps4 price cut
july is just 4 weeks with massive prime day and clearance sales
august is xbox one s release
September is Recore, Forza Horizon and full month availability of xbox one s
October is Gears realse with a Bundle

Neo will be late October or November release at the earliest (if the neo will come out this year)

 

performance of ps4 and xb1 so far this year

PS4
Q1 11,5% up YoY
O2 11,5% down YoY
H1 1% up YoY (basically flat)

XB1
Q1 6% down YoY
Q2 22% down YoY
H1 14% down YoY

Highly doubtful.  The XBO may win August because of the Slim, but that will be only temporary.  And we have already seen that games may give XBO a boost, but not enough to beat the PS4.  Of course, who knows what Sony has planned.  We may get a surprise pricecut in August.  It is long overdue to hit the $299 mark.  It'll definitely be dropping there sometime this year.  Once that happens, all bets are off.

Also, keep in mind, the only Slim SKU out in August is the $399 one.  It'll help, but not as much as a $299 SKU would.
