I cant comment on the actual gap, but there are people out there that think it's 2:1 or higher in favor of PS4.
In the X thread someone was saying PS4 had over 80% share.
And whats particularly funny there is that there are a bunch of people quite unhappy with what I said about X and not one person has asked about Pro, which has also been doing exceptionally well. But it's not really about understanding the business with more depth, is it.
I think a lot of people who aren't following sales closely get confused, such as NPD specifically covering NA and not worldwide sales, mixing up monthly vs ytd vs ltd, etc.
It ends up muddying the conversation unfortunately.
As per Xbox, I think there's a lot of context to apply, and it's been an interesting story to follow for sure.
I think when many appreciate the PS4 gap in the US, they put it in context of this area being the strongest historically in sales for MS by far, and the PS4 still outselling it on a monthly basis, even after years of discounts and new programs like bc or Gamepass.
Now it's not to say the XB1 has done badly in absolute, as until recently it was keeping pace with the 360 I believe, and had a stronger beginning in fact, but even counting the X (which certainly switched the mindshare in terms of absolute power discussion) it seems to me the results have been lackluster overall in terms of regaining lost ground of marketshare, while MS did manage to increase their existing userbase engagement.
Can't wait for the start of the new gen and see how the new strategies/ hardware and the market will mix.
