See, that's the trick though. If PS4 in September is 25% (probably a lot higher honestly) higher in sales than August, what could we attribute that to?
We lack the proper context for this because we're headed into much busier months starting NOW.
It would be a failure of absolutely magnificent proportions if September wasn't larger than July or August.
But if PS4 rises at a higher % than XB1 does from August to September globally, does that mean Tier2 did nothing? No, not really.
The problem for this whole thing is that it's impossible to know how much impact this has. As noted, 'new' sales in Tier2 after official launch may coincide with lower sales from countries that they import from. And simultaneously, if 'import' XB1s are freely available at a cheaper price than 'official' XB1s in particular countries, then sales might appear to be a total disaster in that country, but in reality the country may be buying a fair number of them (but those sales count for the country of import origin, not inside that particular country).
