Why did you use excuses for Xbox One but forget that PS4 Pro launched in November? Don't you think a major console LAUNCH is going to have a tiny impact on the numbers and skew them a little?

Sure some. Just like I am comparing one month to FOUR. The bigget months difference was when the xbox on S came out. The difference was 114K. 20K higher than october with Gears.

You didn't answer my question though. You actually think the xbox one S will win 7 out of 12 months up against the ps4 AND the switch? Based on what?

Sorry. I didn't see the question. 

I think it will based on sales momentum and their new console coming out. Winning four out of the last five months can't be ignored and if they can pull that off with a redesign, what can they do with an all-new, machine? 

I could be wrong and things just magically revert back in Sony's favor but usually, that's not how the gaming industry works. You will typically see sales swing in chunks, or years. It's not often hardware wins for four months and then drops off. There's usually fire behind that smoke and it's probably why Microsoft felt compelled to open their mouths lately about the tides turning, or whatever it was they said (can't remember the actual quote). They know something we don't... more than just winning NPD. There's probably alot of internal data that we don't have access to that is showing them something bigger has happened in the US than just a blip on the map.
