Considering what i'm seeing here, i think Ps4 will take Jan. easy, alson Nintendo is taking march and april fo sure.

I'm expecting ps4 to take every month, aside from march and april, before scorpion release, and than xbox takes 2-3 months, and than we are back to normal, whit sony and microsft fighting while nintendo is just there...

Am I the only one noticing that the PS4pro which cost at least $130 more is selling better than the XB1s?

And we know the PS4pro usually makes up for around 20% of total PS4 sales.

I think MS should be very concerned with conceding losses of around 100k consoles in months like these.... whats the point of whatever they accomplish during the holiday seasons if in an off season month that accomplishment is just wiped clean?

Because by all indications it seems like the PS4 is taking January with at least around 40k+. Or am I missing something here.... whats their end game? Lose all the months again then win two or three months at the end of the year and call that momentum?

Yeah MS is probably loseing Jan by like 100k or more to the PS4, in the US.

Im not sure why Xbox only really "try" at the end of the year, to win the holidays instead of also trying the months that lead up to it.

Xbox One sales are going to drop off (abit) leading up to the release of the Scorpio too (because people are waiting for it, instead of buying).

I commented on that earlier and find it odd.

I mean best buy has the same console with TWO games. Something like that should be draining all the Amazon sales.

And yes that is probably their plan. Lose (to ps4 or switch) until the Scorpio pops. Win that month due to pre orders (and maybe the next with price drops) and call it a day.

They can spend the rest of the time coming up with really clever PR.

Gamestop is also offering the 1TB XB1 with 4 games.

I doubt thats their plan. As a company they want to sell as much consoles as possible while making a profit but its only January so theres not much they can do.
