No I don't, because even without China, the PS4 should easily be outselling it by 100k plus, so that 100k won't put it on top. As I've said before, VGC will put it on top for the week but I've no doubt it'll be adjusted down in the future, just like it happened this year.

And beside, I don't think it did 100k on the first day in China, wasn't that shipped? Or did we get actual confirmation it was all sold through?

The 100k was shipped because otherwise, MS would have already clarified that they are sold through a la Sony's 10 million PS4s announcement in Gamescom. Neither have we heard MS saying stuff like "the X1 is selling gangbusters in China and we're struggling to meet up with demand from retailers."

That's what I'm assuming too. And even if they did sell through 100k, the PS4 should still be on top (again, once adjustments come in). 

From what I'm seeing from Gamestop and Amazon top sellers lists, both PS4 SKUs are still outselling the standalone X1. I expected Forza Horizon 2 to push the X1 past at least one of the two SKUs, but it never happened. It might have been attributed to Shadow of Mordor even though it's a multiplat (the reports of power disparity might've done something). So, at least in the US, the PS4 is outselling the X1 on FH2/China week. The question is by how much?

Europe is pretty predictable, not to mention that the continent will be receiving the white PS4 Driveclub bundle. It'll also be getting a Far Cry 4 and LittleBigPlanet 3 bundle in November. Japan, of course, is also an automatic win and we shall see how much the limited edition PS4s help boost sales there.
