People bought PS4 because it was faster as well as cheaper. Kinect and some other disaster from Microsoft like no used games turned people off. So it was a no brainer. Only people I see getting X are people who upgrade their xbox and those who simply have to buy whatever is new. Look at the switch sales. It is quite underpowered console but since it is next gen Nintendo console of 300$ with exclusive games it is selling. I think it sales will continue to be strong this holidays as well

Nintendo and Microsoft/Sony are for two different fanbases. Price was an issue for xbox one at launch, but resolution also helped determine which console the hardcore (who have money to buy either) will purchase. Hardcore console gamers although not as big as casual console gamers buy a lot more software/subscriptions for their console.

Yes hardcore already xbox owners would do that.

I cannot see first time owners or Nintendo/Sony owners doing this though. Anyways I hope we get numbers but I do not think Microsoft will reveal it sadly.
