Well, since nobody has said it yet (or OP hasn't noticed that anyone has said it yet): the XB1 numbers in the OP don't add up. The total is 2210k.

Perhaps the ps4 can catch up in November because of pspro but dec goes to XOne i think.

Overall 300k + for Xone this year! <<< Because of Xbox momentum

That Xbox One S, defiantly game changer because of 4k player.

While Nov may not be as big as a gap as some think, I really can't believe people are thinking it's going to be close. Sony has the Pro, which is doing great on online sites, plus they have a $249 PS4s Bundle, just like MS does. So, it'll basically be a wash for the Slim SKUs, though this is the first time the PS4 has been that cheap, while MS has had firesales that cheap before.

I don't know why people believe that it will be close. The Xbox One S outsold the PS4 by 110-120k in the month of Launch. The Pro has a lot more pre-orders and the PS4 outsold the Xbox One by almost 300k last year.

 

This year is a weaker one. Sony doesn't has Star Wars or Call of Duty, Microsofft doesn't has something like Fallout.

Gears flopped compared to other games, sold almost half of what Uncharted 4 sold in the USA, who would  predict that. Uncharted is almost  1 year old, won't move units like a launch game.

Sony should make a bundle of IW and  another one of Final Fantasy XV.

Will the PS4 outsell the Xbox One by 600-700k in the next 2 months in order to increase last year's  total gap ?

At the holidays, its not necesarily games that move units but rather deals. An uncharted 4+ R&C bundle for $250 or IW+Uncharted 4 for $250...etc will push crazy numbers.
