Ps4 outsold Wii U 3.5 times this week. Is it time to panic?

It had a great launch period and is now falling fast, especially because of its very poor performance in Europe. The X1s January sales are at the moment trailing behind the 360s first January.

The 360 had shortages in December... like the PS4. Xbox One only sold out for a short duration but supply has been good for the most part this generation.

That doesn't make the X1s european performance less poor. But let's take another example, the X1 is barely outperforming the PS3 in its first January, the difference is that the PS3 was at that point only available in the US, Canada, Japan and for some reason Taiwan and Hong Kong, these regions make up less than 50% of the PS3s lifetime sales. The X1 on the other hand is released in the US, UK, Germany, France which make up over 70% over of lifetime 360 sales already, and 9 more countries, so the X1 is already out for about 80%, maybe more, of 360 buyers.

To make it simple, the X1 is not performing very well this January, due to poor European sales.
