I agree.  I made a similar comment here a few weeks back.

The OP clearly has decided to not waiver and give in no matter what facts that are presented that are contrary to his opinion.  THe OP has softened his opinion a little, but the basic idea is the same.  I have read every post on this thread, and it is the most entertaining thread I have read on this site in the years I have been coming here.

OT : Everybody will have to agree with the OP that the sales of the XB1 are close to the PS4 here in the US now.  Just having sales parity means a lot.  If M$ really wants to go to the next level, they will introduce a bundle or price cut.

Neodegenerate say: Is it bad that I have this thread bookmarked specifically so I can check it again after NPD shows that X1 did not beat PS4 in June?

Not bad at all, we are all doing the same here.

Hey the Xbox1 outsold the PS4 by almost 800units this week globally in the US. That's the start of an uphill fight! Altho was kinda expecting to see a bigger gap on the week when it's being offered 100 dollars cheaper and with an offer floating about for 75dollars back from MS if going from a 360 to the X1 now.

Aura7541 said: As for the second part of your comment, I added up the VGC numbers for June. PS4 sits at 160,229 units while the X1 sits at 144,226. So according to VGC, PS4 actually outsold the X1 by 16,003 in June. X1 did not outsell the pS4 at all. Add onto the fact that VGC is infamous for overtracking the X1 and undertracking the PS4, that gap is actually much wider. This can be confirmed because when we look at the top sellers in major retailers like Amazon, Gamestop, Best Buy, and Walmart, the PS4 was ahead for most of the month. In some retailers, the PS4 still led the X1 after the Kinectless SKU launched.

Man... and I thought VGchartz was wrong again. Well NPD will probably prove that the gap is actually larger..

Guys....thank you,

Is it me, or is this months npd going to send the xbox brand's popularity in a downward spiral?

On that one I will say I think it's you.  While XBox certainly isn't doing gangbusters (or catching up for that matter) they still have their large popular IPs to roll out in the next couple years that will keep that particular train chugging along - well behind the PS4 juggernaut.
