Xbox should continue it's streak with October as people hold off for the pro and gears release. Logic says a Sony win in November but I can see a ridiculous price for the XB1 OG to clear remaining stock on Black Friday making it closer then people expect.

It must really hurt Microsofts profit margins having to sell off so many consoles at heavily discounted prices. 

Definitely but this gen above any before is about install base. If backwards compatibility becomes the norm people will be less inclined to jump to another ecosystem. Even people with steam don't like buying on other services and that's not even hardware.
