In my eyes, the Xbox One X is a premium product and will sell like so. As others have pointed out it supposedly has smaller allocations (I think there was a report on it for the UK). Seeing how Xbox has done the last NPDs too, i'd expect Sony and Nintendo to beat Microsoft out.

You underestimated Microsoft. Even when the Wii was selling well Microsoft still performed at its years best during the holiday every year last gen. It's what's holding their threds together with little exclusive software and mindshare. Plus... Xbox is more popular among teenagers in the us. It's not the same with adults who are the majority.

Hmmm, perhaps, i'm unsure of the numbers that the X1 did last year in the same timeframe so i can't be sure. However, the Xbox brand from the days of the 360 have fallen , of course not to the point of infamy but it isn't as popular as it was in that day. I too believe that it has popularity amongst teenagers and the like, but, at least around Europe where I live, Playstation seems to be the more popular choice now (Of course, the situation in the USA will vary). Plus, Nintendo and Playstation have a strong showing when it comes to software, something which the X1 will be lacking, as as previously mentioned the X1X is limited in stock and in its target market, being the ones willing to shell out that amount of money. This I guess it a more expanded explanation of why I think as mentioned. But if I am underestimating Microsoft and they do exceed Playstation/Nintendo, there's no harm that happening! (Unless you're someone who's deeply involved in the console wars)
