Compare

"In addition, in the U.S., Xbox One had its best January to date and was the only eighth generation console that saw growth in January compared to the prior year according to NPD Group"

Which gives us the same info to

"Xbox One sales grew year-over-year in January, something that cannot be said for the PS4, according to Microsoft."

One is far more mature than the other.

Which one is more mature?

The one with more guns.

MS January has always been poor, so even a small price cut can lead it to be the biggest Jan ever for XB1. The true test will be February, with its oddly massive sales. PS4 will be down yoy again for sure, no way it hits 400k.

I think Xbox will be up in February because early last year Xbox was doing really bad. And halo wars should help a little. PS4 like you said will be down most likely. I believe PS4 has been down YOY every month since June.

Halo MCC will sell 5+ million copies(including digital)

halo 5 will sell 10 million copies(including digital)

x1 will pass ps4 in USA, and UK.

PS4 down and still Xbox loses more than it wins

must be frustrating for them. they don't have anything to really push until Scorpio either. Halo Wars 2 hype seems non-existent. this is what happens in these months when you've been lazy and haven't invested in more exclusives

Don't know about 400k but Sony have a temporary price cut during February so they should do respectable numbers at least.
