There is nothing unusual about those numbers at all. We know both companies can manufacture roughly the same numbers per week. We know they started mass manufacturing around the same time (give or take 2-3 weeks). We know both companies have enough diehard fans that will buy the beloved console no matter what. We know both companies can sell everything they manufacture to its diehard fanbase for several weeks, who cares if it sells out in an hour or a day...
Wake me up in about 2-3 months when the diehard fanboys are fed and sales drop to levels that are meaningful to the discussion. Like: Will the numbers show that "ordinary" fans switch allegiance...
