Yeah i'd say november will prob be the only month ps4 will beet out xbox one s cos of launch and pre-orders of the pro and then after that it will be back to business as usaul - since xone s relaese. The One s is really appealling to the budget minded consumer because of its attractivley added 4k hdr features at a budget price. Sony really should have added these features to the ps4 slim. That was a mistake that is allowing MS to turn the tide in the U.S, and U.K at least.

I think you're in for a shock come January.

No...Sorry the momentum is just too strong now in the U.S. I would be prepared to say that I am wrong only if Sony dip below the xone s price point.. But that is about it. Like I said Novemeber will be a clear winner for ps4 but it will not remain the prefered console due to its significant price diff. Most mums and dads in addition to budget minded people (the majority of console buyers) will opt fo a much more affordable slim variant of both consoles.  That is pretty much it.
