Interesting numbers. I know that eventually I will be getting a PS4, I wonder how/if this will affect the XB1 strategy.

If This Keeps Up, Xbox One Has A Big PS4 Problem Yes, it’s early. Too early for any­one to pop the cham­pagne corks, declare vic­to­ry and stand over the other guy with the scowl of a cham­pi­on. But Microsoft has a prob­lem with the Xbox One in its war with the PS4 and it had bet­ter solve it soon or else it risks hav­ing a much small­er installed base, per­haps half the size by the hol­i­day shop­ping sea­son in 2014. As Paul Tassi wrote here in Forbes, Sony announced the sale of the 7 mil­lionth PS4, which it turns out occurred two weeks ago. That led Microsoft to respond with a report of its own claim­ing 5 mil­lion Xbox Ones shipped to retail­ers. The care­ful observ­er has already caught the dif­fer­ence between sales and ship­ments, sug­gest­ing Microsoft’s num­ber is soft.But worse for the Red­mond, Wash. soft­ware giant is the trend: Each month this year, Sony has sold near­ly a mil­lion PS4s while Microsoft has bare­ly shipped 400,000 Xbox Ones to retail. If we assume, per­haps gen­er­ous­ly, that Microsoft’s installed base is up to 4.5 mil­lion at this point and that the chan­nel isn’t get­ting stuffed with unsold con­soles (a trip to my local Cost­co sug­gests those Xbox­es are lit­er­al­ly pil­ing up), Microsoft could have bare­ly 8 mil­lion Xbox Ones in homes by year end.Sony, by con­trast, is on pace to dou­ble that total if things con­tin­ue as they have so far in 2014. Cer­tain­ly, things could change the equa­tion, though Dave Thier notes that even with Titan­fall, the Xbox couldn’t out­sell the PS4 in March here in the U.S. Every­one seems to agree the biggest issue is the $100 price gap between the two sys­tems, which is most­ly a func­tion of the deci­sion to bun­dle the Kinect with Xbox One. But there is lit­tle doubt that ill will asso­ci­at­ed with the botched Xbox launch hasn’t helped mat­ters much.The ques­tion is when, whether and how Microsoft will react. It’s cer­tain­ly not the case that the Xbox One launch num­bers are a dis­as­ter over­all. But if these tepid month­lies con­tin­ue, they might seem like one a year from now. And there doesn’t seem to be any cat­a­lyst that will alter the equa­tion short of either a price cut by Microsoft or, iron­i­cal­ly, some slow­ing in the sales of PS4. There, per­haps Microsoft has some room to be encour­aged. If you look at the chart, you can see a trend­line for each con­sole which close­ly match­es the actu­al data points. While the Xbox line is get­ting awful­ly flat, Sony’s high­er line is also begin­ning to crest.Microsoft’s “prob­ …
