Xbox One being out sold 2 to 1 world wide, 4-5 to 1 in Europe and by some silly number in Japan is basically quite disastrous place to be in with Xbox and rather than nuckle down and just wait till the next gen cycle before announcing Xbox 1 X (silly name) they are playing catch-up. Basically the week before X1X comes out in November, Sony will drop the price of the PS4 Pro, thus making X1X looks massively overpriced this Xmas. Sony will outsell Xbox, in all its shapes, this holiday season and into 2018. By mid to late 2018 the PS4 brand will out sell Xbox by 3 to 1 world wide. That is unfortunately how it will play out.
