I've been saying this for ages.  Original X1 buyers are ready to do the upgrade, they just don't wanna pay $500 for it.  

For the life of me I do not understand what the heck MS is waiting to do a permanent price cut on the X1X.

Agreed. I'd even take one of the price was right full well knowing that the neXtbox is coming next year at the latest.

Excellent thread. Hope you learnt a lot during the holiday season and implement it this year!

PS4 : 58 + 45 = 103 points (-16) ; XBO : 62 + 46 + 21 = 129 point (-57) ; NS : 110 + 68 = 178 points (-25)

Overall :

1 - NS : 447.0 points (-31.2) ; Month Average : 443.8 points/day ; 1.0

3 - XBO : 277.7 points (-77.2) ; Month Average : 215.5 points/day ; 0.49 (+0.03)

With that gap, either the Switch is selling significantly faster than last year or both PS4 and XBO dropped down significantly

Hardware revision shares (Feb 8):

PS4:

Slim: 82*0.8+185*02+58= 160.6 61%
Pro: 24*08+190*0.2+45= 102.2 39%

Xbox One:

S: (44+6)*0.8+ 68*0.2+0= 53.8 23.2%
X: 0+155*0.2+62+46+21= 160 74.8%

Slim+S 214.4/Pro+X 262.2 45%/55%

X Fallout 76 is dropping of a bit, equalizing the Slim/S and the Pro/X again a bit more

Or a bit of both?

I agree with peachbuggy. Switch is probably up YoY while the other two are down.

Still early days yet, no need to panic about Xbox and ps4... I think most people expect them to be down unless they drop the price and I think that Sony think why bother when people buying consoles this late in the gen are not going to be spending that much on the accessories and games so I think we can accept that except for the odd occasion Sony will be looking to keep profits high and that means it will drop by in yearly sales.

Even then, didn't PS4 win February NPD last year? If yes then the PS4 and the Switch must still have moved a lot

Did X1 have a huge amount of pre-order points for February? PS4 has a healthy lead over X1 by 50 points on Amazon and 150 points by Best Buy, yet in terms of overall points the X1 is ahead and I can't really figure out why.
