MS killed it in November. The XBOX ONE averaged more consoles sold per day for the 9 days it was out in November than any console in the month (Sony did sell more PS4s, but it had 7 extra days). December sales are going to be very interesting.
Microsoft sells 2,000,000 Xbox One's in 18 days.

Not really surprised by this insane number of consoles sold by Microsoft. The console is equal in power to the PS4, yet has a $100 price difference. Like it did with the Xbox 360, it comes down to more and better games with the Xbox brand.
I just did a check on Amazon.de (German Amazon site), mainly to check for tablets, but also checking out PS4 & XBOX one. Couldn't be more different. Either MS have massive supply here, or PS4 is vastly more popular.
You can get an xbox at regular price, by real retailers, & have it delivered to you in 7 working days or so. You can only get a PS4, at almost double the retail price, by sellers!
I wish to belive that MS have massive stock available for us, but if not, I think the market share here will be significantly less than last gen in the lifetime of the console.
But at least its doing well on home Turf.

Because they just got XB1s to sell and haven't gotten new PS4s.
There's really nothing more to it. Both are selling like hotcakes.

this is amazons best sellers list see where the Xbox is vs. ps4
Maybe the PS4 just needs some good games in order to climb back up the list.
In order to climb in the list, it needs more units to be available. The numbers are based on sales, not popularity, and it's updated hourly. If amazon hasn't had PS4s to sell, then it's going to drop.
You'd think that by now, people on this forum would understand that by now. One console selling more than the other (whether it's PS4 or XB1) is NOT due to one being more popular than the other.
Both are selling out quickly, and will continue to do so well into next year.
Anyone trying to claim one console being more popular than another for whatever reasons (price, games, etc) and using these early sales as any indication truly doesn't get what's happening. That goes for fans of either side.
Several pages later, and people are still trying to make a connection between sales and popularity.

Sales right now don't have much to do with popularity. It has more to do with who is keeping up with production right now. MS is obviously doing the right things in that department. Not so sure about Sony though.
Unfortunately, nobody here knows how many units are available to sell for either system. What we do know is that both are not sold out and both can be found at retail.
But when put up in retail, they sell out pretty quick. It's nonsense to believe that these consoles are just sitting on shelves with no interest from people to purchase. Anectodatal evidence points to units selling out pretty quick once made available for both consoles.
Point being, if you happen to see some on the shelf....that is not an indication that it's not selling.
No offense to red heads or step kids...but the Wii U is red headed bastard step child of this console race.
Use your index finger, press the box slightly at one corner to make a small but subtle mark. Come back 3 days lt still there, its Not Selling.
First it's 3:1 or 4:1. Then somehow it's 2:1? Now your claim of PS4 is at 3M and X1 is at 2M.... (and that assumes PS4 sold 900k more systems in the past week and a half as Sony said they were at 2.1M on Dec 1) making it a 3:2 ratio (1.5:1). And considering PS4 is supposedly super sold out everywhere, I highly doubt PS4 has sold 900k in a week and a half. PS4 is likely at somewhere around 2.4 or 2.5M tops.
Your almighty online poll ratios are slipping consolewarz. Make up your mind which ratio you think is the uber ratio to stand by to make PS4 the winner. You've been flip flopping every week as more data releases. lol
At this rate, come X-mas time the ultimate PS4 winning ratio will be at 1:1.

. I would have went there and scoop a few PS4s to resell.Are you sure? Zoolalert shows that the PS4 is currently sold-out whereas X1 is currently in-stock.

I just explained why the pre-launch metrics changed from 4:1 to 2:1. You're incapable or unwilling of reading, deliberately ignoring what people just typed to you and saying "somehow it's 2:1?" like it wasn't just explained to you.
Yes PS4 is easily above 3 mil globally. There are shortages both due to higher demand, lack of supply, and wider global distribution. I expect an announcement of 3+ mil soon after the asian launch in a few days.
Your inability or refusal to comprehend reality isn't going to change it. You make false accusations about "flip flopping" and spend hours writing inaccurate Nelsonomics math PR spin that convinces nobody but posters like Flynn.

It's hard to be credible calling someone out for math spin when multiplication by two seems to be such a challenge.
You do realize that, in order for the PS4 to be outselling the Xbox One 2 to one, it would need to have sold more than four and a quarter million by now, right?
If you haven't noticed by this dudes post/responses within the last month he is not the sharpest knife in the drawer. But his post and analogies are pretty entertaining. Lol. So far he had been a great replacement for puresoul.
