Stock shouldn't be a problem for December though, they will most likely ship a lot more if they need to. And even if they lose BF I still think they will win Novemeber, but we will see for the results in a few days I guess( BF results).

You are still looking at stock differently from how you should be looking at it.

Its not about who has stock or doesn't.. its about who had more stock. Thats why I am saying, "rate of sales" is only relevant when both platforms have the exact same number of consoles shipped to stores. But if one platform has considerably more stock than the other, then it doesn't matter who sold out first or second as long as they both sold out eventually during the intended period. 

So the question remains, (and this time i would expand on it) what if sony shipped out 1M consoles to stores and MS shipped out 750k? the analysis you are making now only works or is relevant if you can provide us with the number of consoles your store had to begin with.

I can't provide that because by the time I went in Xbox One was sold out while PS4 still had two carts(Xbox one's were I believe in pallet not in carts). The only thing is we won't know for sure who shipped more, many believe it was Sony, but we shall see, also I said November because I believe the three first weeks it outsold it(vgchartz, amazon and other online retailers), and I used BF for December number, proving because there is more demand for Xbox One since many were pre ordering from now for before christmas, while that wasn't the case with PS4, and again I believe there were no pre-ordering for PS4 because there was stock. 

I believe the thing that will decide December is if Microsoft can produce more units than PS'4 demand, as I believe Xbox One will sell out in December, and to this I say I believe they will, hence my prediction. but only time will tell.
