Early research by IDC suggests that the market is willing to listen. Seven million consoles are expected to be sold in North America within the next two quarters, and 21.6 of prospective purchases say they are specifically looking at buying an Xbox One X, compared to 22.2 per cent eying a PlayStation 4 Pro.
In terms of product families, the entire Xbox One lineup earned 36.6 per cent of the vote compared to PlayStation 4s 35.6 per cent, narrowly taking the holiday 2017 sales crown, IDCs research suggests.
What the broader takeaway (from our research) implies is that Microsofts gamble is going to pay off, Ward said. It does appear to stabilize the slide that Microsoft has been on, which I think is a positive step. It looks like, in North America, that the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X will be neck-and-neck in sales for at least the next six months or so and if that happens, you have to say thats a win for Microsoft.
