December is going to be a good month for both consoles no doubt about that. People are trying to correlate whether this means the Xbox is going to have a huge drop in January like the Wii U did. I think the price is going to hurt them in the slower months but we'll see how much that matters

December's NPD is going to be fun. And January's will be telling.
Eh, the "they're both selling incredibly well shows the health of the industry" is just as silly as people wanting or expecting one to dominate over the other. On a previous 8 year generation and a month after launch, as has been pointed out even Wii U had great sales in 2012. People were deperate for a new conse gen.
Likewise while we SHOULD know better that sales and availability aren't directly correlated like we think they are, it's a trained consumer mindset that "hard to find" often implies "immense demand". Which is true. We just then often apply the inverse incorrectly.
But yes. The only two non-fanboy take always are that XBONE is pretty readily available (hence the ridiculousness of these threads), and that at this point the only indication of their success and the health of the industry is waiting for NPD and worldwide numbers closer to Q2 2014.

Yeah I'm mainly a PC gamer and I own a ps4. Xbox one seems like redundant or something. But I'm counting on ms to buy more exclusives
I believe he is trolling as a pretend astroturfer.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
That made me laugh way too much.
