Just a simple question. According to VGC (as of 19th August 2017), the PS4 leads by 2.5 million units and probably sits at around 3 million right now. Is it possible for the XB1 to catch the PS4 in the US?

Donald Trump needs to ban sale of PS4 in US. Then it will take about a year XOne to catch up. It's possible, don't you think?

Considering last generation, I see what you're coming from but I don't think I'd refer to PlayStation as being "way less popular" than Xbox in the US. Last generation was the exception rather than the rule.

Just look at the top 10 best selling home consoles in the US:

PosPlatformNorth America
1 PlayStation 2 (PS2) 53.65
2 Xbox 360 (X360) 49.11
3 Wii (Wii) 45.38
4 PlayStation (PS) 38.94
5 Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) 33.49
6 PlayStation 3 (PS3) 29.42
7 Atari 2600 (2600) 23.54
8 Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) 22.88
9 PlayStation 4 (PS4) 21.68
10 Nintendo 64 (N64) 20.11

 

PS4 will certainly end up somewhere in top 5 making PlayStation take 3 of the top 5 best selling home consoles in the US. I'd maybe give the edge to Nintendo if we include handhelds but I wouldn't say PlayStation is "way less popular" than Nintendo let alone Xbox.

That's a pretty big omission considering how Nintendo has sold more handhelds in the US than Sony has sold home consoles and handhelds combined.

Not that I agree with the first guy; the idea that Xbox is ahead of PlayStation and anywhere close to Nintendo is ridiculous. Nintendo is moderately more popular than PlayStation, and PlayStation is moderately more popular than Xbox.

Yup.

No. even the Switch will outsell it, which it is doing now and lifetime sales when it is over.
