No one is winning January by 100k after how close the consoles have been recently. Gap won't even be half that I reckon

I agree. I'd bet it will be a fairly close month, especially after the Xbox had 2 weeks with a $20 price cut at the beginning of the month.

Ps4 does have the better line up until E3 with Nioh, Persona, Nier, Gravity Rush, Yakuza and Horizon, so im sure since software pushes hardware halo wars alone won't be able to stop this big push.

E3 will define the year, how good is scorpio, which games will both announce, and the end of the year looks good for both companies, crackdown 3. sea of thieves, state of decay 2 might suprise and detroid and gran turismo will be top sellers for ps4

Are we just going to ignore the positions on the weekly and monthly charts? Or the fact that even the PS4pro which costs over $130 more than an XB1s is apparently selling better than it.

Don't get me wrong, I am not saying the PS4 will win by 100k.... I am saying it could win by as much as 40k-100k. In a "slow" month thats kinda a big deal.

I don't see Crackdown and Sea of Thieves pushing many units.  Gran Turismo's impact will be interesting to see.  

But E3 should be intense.  You'll have MS trying to sell the Scorpio as the new hotness and Playstation maneuvering to minimize its impact and both putting forth hopefully impressive first party showings.  And of course Nintendo will be looking to paint a good picture for the future of the Switch and of course putting big emphasis on near future titles like Mario Odyssey, Fire Emblem Warriors, Xenoblade 2, and Splatoon 2 (if it hasn't launched by E3).  The extent of 3rd party support will also be considerably more clear.  It will be interesting to see how Sony and MS maneuver in relation to it.  I don't think Sony has anything to fear but the Xbox brand is still in a vulnerable position.

I guess... its just a really weird thing. Seeing MS throw all those promotions and stuff at the market around the holiday season to eek out 100k or less win here or there for 3-4 months in a year...... then lose to the PS4 on what are generally regarded as the slow months by like 100k for 8 months in the year.

What I am really finding shocking; how can the PS4pro be selling better than the XB1s on amazon????? How is that even possible?

Exclusives + Scorpio promotions. Just as I predicted.

... and there are better deals elsewhere. jason123 already mentioned it a few times. Let's not get carried away until the NPD numbers roll in.

Mega seller that is if it even gets released this year.

How many units did the other GT games sell in their first months in the US?
