Considering that last week was before the Xbox U-turn, I expect most of those consoles were PS4.

It will be very interesting to see how things pan out now that Microsoft has reversed course on its DRM plans. Looking at the Amazon charts it's clear they've seen a bump in pre-orders. Prior to the 180 the X1 console was 8th on the 2013 list, and the X1 controller and software had fallen out of the top 20 on the hourly list; since the 180, the X1 has now gone up to 7th on the 2013 list, and the controller and a couple games have gotten back into hourly top 20, with many other X1 games seeing improvements elsewhere on the list.

It's definitely a bump for Microsoft, and I expect it will fade to some degree, but the new balance we see coming out of this will certainly be closer between the two than it had been before.
