Here is my comparative analysis...
This is a comparative analysis from the Data I gathered from this site.
The numbers below are entirely in line with my original projections about the US market share, posted here:
http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=172405
Basically, I am estimating the North American market share between PS4 and XB1 to be...
XB1 : Around 35-45%
PS4 : Around 55-65%
Currently the preorders market share for XB1 is 42.4% overall, and 39.4% for third parties, which is more representative in the long run. Those numbers will more likely improve in favor of PS4 in the upcoming months / years due to the network & catapult effects from the rest of the world, in addition to the more price sensitive casual crowd, who will favor PS4.
