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.

That's something that definitely won't happen in one year. I think this won't happen at all. Thanks to strong Xbox holiday sales.

Let me be clear that hard-core gamers and gamers who love to have the latest console system will buy the X1X, but hard-core gamers are not the bread and butter of console sales, aka the masses. With the economic downturn, when Mary goes to buy baby Jesus his first console this holiday season, she won't care what it looks like on 4K compared to High Def. She'll just care about the bang for buck. So that brings it down to Xbox 1 -slim and PS4 Pro or slim in terms of features and price. Due to Sony having close to 70million gamers by November/December and a wider variety of console exclusives, my money is that Mary is going to buy Jesus a PS4 variant.

PS. I'm not religious, I just picked the names for festivity relevance.
