Yes, Sony cant' get 3:1 by mid 2018. The reason is the gap isn't big enough for them to achieve this. Xbox One sold enough units to not make this possible even probably by the end of the generation. And also, of course the holiday season. Xbox never sells great in the first half of the year. They will definitely shrink the gap this holiday season. By mid 2018 they will sell 40m consoles or maybe little bit less. Do you think that Sony will sell 120m PS4s by then. How will they manage to double install base in just a year? Do you really believe it is possible? They need to drop PS4 Slim price to 100$ maybe to achieve this in such short time.

3:1 on a yearly basis is certainly possible...that's how it's been this last half year and I don't think the XOX is going to change that.

3:1 over all would be impressive but I highly doubt it, like you said not enough time...for that XOX would need to crash completely and PS4 would need to continue selling at a 5:1 rate like recently which again is unlikely.

Even 3:1 on yearly basis is not gonna happen. As you said it's how it's been first half of the year. Every year it was like that in this time frame. MS will end up losing 2:1 this year as they've always been. They will shrink Sony's advantage in the holiday season as always.

The only people saying that MS deserves praise for this are PC gamers. Anybody that bought an XB1 in 2013 under the assumption that it was needed to play good exclusives got played. It's not good for consumers when a company sells you a product and then turns around to make the product completely unnecessary and worthless.

You say that PC gamers are the only one who can praise MS for this but then you describe something that is more about PC gamers primarily who bought Xbox One just for exclusives. So, do PC gamers really praise MS for this?
