A 10k gap with all those insane deals in one of the slowest months of the year really isn't nice.

The counter argument is that the slim was up for preorder all of July which may or may not have put a significant dent in the ones sales for the month.

That was a $399 SKU. Not exactly the kind your average customer will buy.  They're much more likely to get a $249 XBO. 

There's also some evidence a lot of those Slims are rebuys, i.e. not a big boost in XBO products being sold.  Currently in Amazon's Top 20 for August, there are 3 XBO products (1 in the Top 10), versus PS4's 10 (7 in the Top 10.) And if you look at best sellers for July, even with all those XBO preorders, excluding the console itself, there are 5 XBO products (2 in the Top 10), versus the PS4's 8 (4 in the Top 10.)
