I have no doubt MS is/has closed the gap (the question is how much) after all their 180s. My hunch is in the U.S. it will be roughly 50/50 and right now I'd give the slight early edge to PS4 b/c I believe there are more "hard core" gamers getting Sony and eventually MS will catch up when the "bros" finally get off their couch after seeing the Madden 25 and COD on XB1 commercials.
A. That site has been proven to just pull numbers out of their ass numerous times. Whether or not they've changed and actually use real data now...I don't know, but their numbers should not be taken as facts.

B. I have no doubt Sony is going to outsell Microsoft this year, and probably next year, and I'll go on record as saying that as long as there's a $100 difference, they'll continue to outsell Microsoft. You cite Madden and Call of Duty as being reasons people buy an Xbox One, and while I'm sure having content first for Call of Duty affects some people, I doubt it's enough to get people to fork over an extra $100 when they can get the same content on the cheaper system.

Besides, all these recent rumors about PS4 being able to consistently have games running at 1080p while most Xbox One games are going to run at 720p or 900p are probably going to play a part, too.
