PS4
2013-2.0 million
2014-4.68 million
2015-5.73 million
2016-5.1 million
LTD-17.5 million

XBO
2013-1.82 million
2014-4.37 million
2015-4.93 million
2016-4.73 million
LTD-15.85 million

Using these numbers it's:

Gap:

2013 - 180k behind ps4
2014 - 310k behind ps4
2015 - 800k behind ps4
2016 - 370k behind ps4

How much the xbox one has caught up to the ps4 since 2013 (i.e. fallen behind):  -1.66million

There are reasons for everything. I just don't find one for getting worked up over good Xbox performances in the last NPD/sales threads.

Good, it'd be pretty unhealthy if you were getting worked up over a forum thread.

If these are accurate MS didn't actually do better Ps4 sales just dropped.

91%

93%

86%

92.7%

 

So it has always been close but Sony did a magnificent job in 2015. People are acting like 2016 was the outlier with the XBO S, when in reality PS4s big lead in 2015 was the outlier.

Edit: and XBO with kinect at $500 for ~5 months did better then 2016 with the Slim. (also 5 months)

Thats the funny thing, if you read wat some posters say you would think that MS all round di much better. In truth they did worse than they did before, they just did worse less than the PS4.

This is like saying, they both did worse, and PS4 still won, but since MS did less worse than the PS4 then MS kinda won.

Anyways, the holidays are over. Lets see who wins the following months now. I would only give MS credit if they actually start winning more months in a year as opposed to throwing everything at the end of the year.

Have all the prices been restored to pre-holiday amounts?

I think so far this gen what we have seen is the holiday price, or something close to it, becomes the official price shortly after.  I haven't paid attention at all this year though so I have no idea if that is still holding true there.

I'm curious to see how the XB1 does from now on. No new bundles, no $30 gift cards, no free controllers, and no extra free game. I doubt MS is going to pour in another $31.4 million in advertising this month or for any of the 'pre-season' months.

So far, Microsoft's temporary holiday season price cut has stayed true to its name.

Well, MS did spend $12.4 million more than Sony in advertising for December and offered more aggressive deals along with the $225 Minecraft bundle.

That's called competing. Sony also had two new models available for this holiday and a $250 system with the new Uncharted 4 this holiday. 

So if Microsoft offers XboxS at $130 and sells 3 million units that month, is that also called competing? There's seriously no logic here from some users. 

 

What counts is the desirebility of the console. Which console sells more when put on equal footing?

You forgot to mention, no big exclusives now that scalebound got canned.....that we know so far. at least.
