As far as I know they are both tracking ahead of their previous itterations. Or did the Xone fall behind the 360? If thats so, IMO even that could be explained by the far more potent sales of the PS4. There is an obvious consumption barrier for core consoles, and the 2 will obviously canibalize eachother.

They're neck to neck, xb1 should soon fall behind but it will fight back with scorpio, it depends on its price! Although, when kinect era comes  in the comparison... You know...

Anyway, the rest of what you have said so far is right, especially that consumption barrier comment is astute, ( anyone should take into account this in their sales prediction ).

However, do you think that xbox/ps doesn't have casual gamers too,  that mobile gaming might have stolen?

Oh yes, that might actually be a segmnent where they are hurting. Still remember how many movie-based games were releasing for consoles in the 6th and 7th generation. Now theyt are almost completly gone and a quick freemium mobile game is made instead. Hopefully the rise of the indies will be able to compenstae for that financial loss, tough at one poinbt they were massive money makers (damn the PS2/GBA managed to push some massive ammount of garbage).
