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.

I dont think you quite get it.  I can almost guarantee that Sony had more stock than Micrsoft at any current retailer.  Let me take out the product names to simplify:

Say you have product A and product B which is sold to the same type of consumer.  All year long, product A is selling considerably less than Product B.  So, when the time comes to buy large quantities of both product A and product B for Black Friday, as a store clerk, which product would you buy more of?  You would stock up on considerably larger amounts of product B since it has been selling that much more.  

Just think about it.  If you are sitting on past SKU bundles of a product, wouldn't you be wary of buying a large shipment of a ton of new bundles?  

You make it sound like Microsoft wasn't prepared for this black friday and couldn't make as many consoles as Sony.  Do you honestly feel that a company as big as Microsoft would let that happen?  Of course not!  It all comes down to each individual retailer only buying a certain amount of your product.  So it doesn't amaze me to hear that it took a longer time for the PS4 to sell all of their units in comparison to the XB1.
