Fair enough but if true  its the future trend they need to be concerned about. Is it possible that a) that the whole console industry is seeing a decline and b) combined with that.. MS have started to recapture the mindshare in the U.S in the console space -with the cureent gen that is.

I don't kmow how many people have to say it to you. And im beginmig to think that it doesmt matter how many times you hear it.

The Pro is noy designed or exoected to sell more than the slim and will not.

The whole console industry isnt seeing a declime simoly because they were (possobly) down in one territory. And for which there are even reasons for that that jave been reiterated on over and over again but you seem to keep ignoring it. Also, (at least PS4) is up in Japan and Europe to the tune of having the best BF in playstation history. 

As for recapturing mindshare, it's too early to tell. The months of January through to June are more important to see stuff like that than during the end of year months especially when considering MS software release schedule. 

Then obviously you have completely ignored or conveniently forgotten my recent posts in which I have repeatedly claimed the slim models of both consoles would always be the stronger sellers (and for the same reason I claimed Xbox One s has outperformed ps4 slim for offering additional value). In any case, I think you are completely missing an important point here. This (PS$ PRo) is a launch piece of hardware with months of preorders and yet we are obseerving a decline (compared to last year) in ps4 hardware for the month - this coupled of course with a super budget slim model..  Please read my previous posts for your own sake of clarity.
