And I think at this point Xbox stops being as competitive due to Scalebound's announcement and nothing till the end of the year.

Lol, it's fake. I just wanted to share it because it made me spit out my drink.

Great win for the ps4. Finishes 2016 around 350k up. 2017 should start off with the gap further increasing considering the ps4 has a vastly superior release schedule for the first 6 months.

I did the math with Aqua data.

PS4 lead this month needs to be lower than 160k.

I think the slim and pro will get a price cut next October.  Or whenever Scorpio releases.  I don't think Sony can coast at 299 anymore.  250 next year then 199 at year 6.  Ps3 will be discontinued by then I suspect.  So the ps4 will replace the ps3 for good.  Ps5 reveal for year 7 and release at year 8.

Very close month!

Gap between PS4 and XB1 was about 360k this year. What was it the last couple of years?

2014 - 310K gap
2015 - 800K gap

So similar to 2014 then. You would have expected better at the start of the year

Pro sold 238k... probably over 500k in US.

Pro sold 238k... probably over 500k in US.

I think Windows Central had it selling ~300K in November, so it has sold over 500K. That's very good for a luxury device.
