So they're both down YoY, despite the new hardware. I wonder if this means this gen has peaked. This Holiday will be the big test.

No, I don't think this gen has paked yet. The software just wasnt there. Or at least not as much as it was in 2015. 2016 stands to be a lot better. I don't know about the XB1, but even it will still benefit from games like RDR2 or GTA6.

But the PS4, still is yet to release some of its biggest IPs for this gen. The last of Us 2,GoW and Gran Turismo. 

All that aside, I feel this year will be the peak year for the PS4/XB1. Cause I see them hitting a $199 price point and still probably come with a game r two around the holiday season.

Maybe. I actually don't think that the drop from $250 to $200 will make much of a difference if the drop from $300 to $250 didn't. Historically, what are Playstation's biggest hardware movers? I know GTA has always been one, probably GT, but is GoW really all that big? Will TLOU2 do more for Playstation than Uncharted 4 did?

I guess M$ has Scorpio this year, but judging by PS4Pro's reception powerful hardware means nothing without the games to sell it with, and Sea of Thieves doesn't really scream "System Seller" to me.
