Comparing the monthly chart to last year's I'm going to change my opinion on XB1 sales. Compared to last year, XB1 is doing much better. It could be closer to PS4 than I first thought. That's if it doesn't have a huge decline.
Sony seem happy to cost along with the $300 1TB

I don't know if I'd jump the gun so quick. We still have a couple weeks to go. And looking at last year's, there was only 1 SKU for both PS4 and XBO in the Top 100.  PS4 at #9 and XBO at #39. This year PS4 has 3, which sit at #33, #43, and #62. The XBO also has 3, but the Forza bundle, which sits at #30, seems to be done and is plummeting fast. The 2nd sits at #61, which is the X, but that seems to have been taken over by the Pro, so those should switch positions, soon. And the last one sits at #85, so it's probably not pulling in much. It also is gone from the Top 100 Hourly, so it'll be dropping soon, as well.

I'd say PS4 is still pretty impressive, given the $60-$80 difference in price. Though, I do hope Sony drops to $250, soon. Going from $199 to $250 to $285-$300 in the span of a month is pretty jarring. I think they should have just put everything at $250 in Dec and left it there. Hopefully, we get a $250 Slim and $350 Pro at E3. 

I think we have to factor in that the Switch is now settled into the Amazing charts. So with the Switch hardware and software, positions further down the chart could be the equivalent of around 10 extra positions better up the chart compared to pre-Switch.
