I'm sure if it is 100k gap they'll be slightly disappointed, but if you compare it to last gen where MS had a 12m+ gap and this gen, sony is continuing to increase the gap on a yearly basis, and WW outselling at a rediculous rate. I dont think they'll be overly concerned.

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.

So what? Sony doesn't care nearly as much about the US as you do, otherwise they would be offering more than the U4 bundle at the moment. They care about worldwide sales, and even still they have a decent lead in the US. Even if that lead diminishes to an even keel between the systems or tips in favor of MS, worldwide they are absolutely crushing MS (though we'll have to see what sort of impact Switch can have). 

 

Hell, I wouldn't be surprised at all if MS takes the December NPD, considering the amount of deals they're going to be throwing at the system over the next week (Minecraft bundle at $229, an extra $30 gift card on top of the $50 off, etc.) That doesn't change Sony's success one bit, if it does. It just means that MS is finally starting to hit a decent stride.
