Technically, no, it isn't a large gap, but all the data we had (anecdotal though most of it is) had most of us thinking it would only be by 15 or 20k or so, I bet. It all looked like the top console would pull ahead by a razor-thin margin.

I admit i was one who thought it would  be something like 15k. The actual results still doesn't surprise me and look anything like dominating.

lol less than 20k is not big .. anything above that to me is imo.. yet alone 40k+

To me over 100K is large and can quickly close the gap and grow your installed base. You aren't changing market share selling 50K sporadically.  

100k in November and December is a very small gap, but a huge one in the Summer. You need to look at percentages:

The Ps4 outsold the Xbox One in the US by 1.75m, 14% or 1.15:1
Since the release of Xbox One S, the Xbox One outsold the Ps4 in the US by 163k, 36.5% or 1.35:1

But these are just launch sale, so don't read to much into it. anything can change this holiday season
