A paragraph can be one sentence but I've edited the OP just for you.

That's still a pretty poor paragraph....

O ... K ...

Early to mid 2015. Lots of exclusives during that time frame.

Really depends on how Xbox One and Wii U do this holiday, but PS4 has a chance to take 50% marketshare by the end of the year/before first week of next year.

I'm not sure about this year. I put early 2015 because of the momentum Witcher 3/The Order/Bloodborne will give it in February.

It all depends on how everything performs. The PS4 is going to hit atleast 17m, no question about it. If The Wii U and Xbox One happen to underperform and only do a combined 4m, then PS4 has 50% marketshare.

Even though it's the first year, six million seems kind of low for a holiday doing as good as the PS4 in comparison to the other two consoles out on the market. I'm thinking the PS4 might get 18m-20m with 6m combined for the other two.

The Christmas period has always been the Xbox's strongest time of year so I expect sales to be more or less neck and neck during that period. I'm not even willing to call who will win this generation until I've seen how the XB1 performs this Christmas; although, if Sony win Christmas, I'm definitely going to assume the PS4 will win this generation.

Xbox used to do great in the holidays due to it doing great in holidays crazy markets and its price.

X1 has neither of those points going for it.

This holiday PS4 will do it.
