I think having 1-6 odd consoles in store, well they could have shipped them/stocked them just as someone walked in. So it's difficult to say about USA right now.
But that image from Germany, that tells a totally different story, thats not a small number that massive. I suspect Europe is going to be hard work for MS until they at least drop the price. Sony just need to keep getting stock out in europe and they might win by a big margin.
I think it's pretty obvious that Sony are going for big amounts of consoles every couple of weeks, while MS seems to be drip feeding them in more often. I guess from a demand point of view, MS are in a better position because they know when to turn the tap off of consoles coming in. Sony might do a big shipment and then it doesn't sell out, then there will be lots of posts saying PS4 doesn't sell. The only worrying thing for MS is that they seemingly are not selling their consoles right now...
NPD is going to be fascinating, because is Sony sell more or the same as MS, then it will definitely show MS sales will drop off further than Sony in the new year.
The new year sales are going to be interesting... I do think MS might see more of a drop off in sales.
