To begin with the group is still small and changing MS' approach in trying to be on the consumer side would requrie a completely new leadership at almost all levels worldwide...

Second though, they do have to sell X1's though, and MS needs to put stock in the right place in order to guaranttee those sales...  Right now that is North America and the UK.

The gap isn't even that wide even after the xbox being $100 more. Its amazing how its still selling despite all the hate and the other side saying it wouldn't reach 1 million. The ps4 should be outselling the xbox one 5 to 1 seeing as how its cheaper. People always want the cheapest item. Sony has the upper hand and it released a week earlier....in 13-14 more countries.....at a cheaper price.....need i say more?
Its obvious sony has the upper hand

Tracking higher? LOL stop assuming vgchartz tracking is 100%  correct.

Don't underestimate the power of the xbox brand in North America and don't underestimate the size of the North American market. The 360 has about 52-53% of its total lifetime sales in the US alone, add Canada and it's probably well over 55% in one region. The PS3 is much more distributed, with about 27 million or so in North America and the same lifetime total.
Even if the the xbox brand went down by as much as 25% in this key market, the PS4 would have quite a challenge ahead of itself.

I believe that the One will catch and pass and remain fairly well ahead of the PS4 in North America, I just don't see any reason why it wouldn't. First off; the price will go down, and second; the PS3's ridiculous starting price didn't stop it from making a good showing in Europe in the 7th gen.

Now that I think about it I'm confident that the Xbone can still win in the US. I mean, to sell as much as it has considering it's $100 more expensive than it's competitor is really great, especially considering all the negative press it recieved back in June. My main worry I had for it was that it would just be a non-start because of their fuck-ups at the start of the year but now that it's got it's foot in the door I'm confident it'll make it. M$ still have alot of potential tricks up their sleeve such as a $100 less, kinect-less SKU, Halo, etc.

Additionally, the last bold bit, makes it sound like you don't think Sony have the same tricks.

Again, for the last time, right now supply constraints for both systems are making all predictions based off of current sales, worthless.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!!!!

I wouldn't bet on it.

it can be real close. I remember Gamestop reported that over 2 million customers are still waiting to pre order ps4

If M$ get ahead of Sony its only because of poor supply on Sony's part.

As soon as the PS4 has plenty of stock the PS4 will race ahead
