We should see a cross in about 2 years, if PS4 is not able to sell 130M lifetime.
At this moment is basically ps4 x ps3+x360.
PS4 rowing the boat as hard as it can with XB1 being like "aNchOrs aWay!!!!!!"
Less than 35M to go for the PS4-XB1. I think they've got that one.
If the PS4 and X1 are still ahead if the PS5 and X2 launch, I would still call it a win. Total sales are not the only thing that matter its also about how fast you can sell them and seventh gen simply had more time to sell. Even if the 8th gen twins get outsold by their 7th gen counterparts they will still be much more profitable.
