4. Sony Keeps Increasing Its Console Market Share

The Prediction: The PS4 has been a tremendous success since launch and the decisive leader in the "console war" against Microsoft and Nintendo to date, almost doubling the Xbox One's sales and more-than-tripling the Wii U's.

Why It Will Happen: With the PS4 consistently outselling the Xbox One, this probably won't change for the remainder of the year. Sony have done so much right with the PS4 that their vice-grip on the market is extremely unlikely to change.

Why It Might Not: The upcoming release of the Xbox One S could easily start to lessen the gap for Microsoft, even if only slightly. There will be an incentive for those late to the party to finally grab an Xbox One, and so this could raise the Xbox One's market share somewhat.
