So basically for Xb one to get to 30M before PS4 gets to 55M requires the LTD sales ratio to decrease by 0.12. Which of course over the next few months Xb one achieves an average sales ratio of 1.51(PS4):1(XBO). I dunno. With Pro looking likely to be a strong seller, and with Amazon indicating PS4 winning in September in NA, I'm not certain Xb one can reduce that sales ration by that much. If you ask me whether it's possible for MS to prevent the LTD sales ratio from hitting 2:1 I think it may be possible if Scorpio hits the right marks, including being price competitive. But it it also possible that PS4 is already at 2:1 by the time Scorpio comes along. I think PS4 is favoured in this 55/30 match up. |
The funny thing about those ratios is that its not even taking into consideration what really needs to happen. So far this year the PS4 has maintained an almost 2:1 ratio over the XB1. And dare I say for the entire generation thus far with exception to a few months.
For XB1 to drop that ratio down from 2:1 to 1.5:1 in the last 3 months of the year, it basically has to drop it down to around 1.2:1 in those last 3 months. Not a chance in hell of that happenning.
