It sounds like the PS4 has been selling better than the X1 at Best Buy, Walmart, Gamestop, Amazon, and possibility many other retailers. The only retailer where the X1 has sold more than the PS4 is Target thanks to the free $50 of game credit deal.

I saw both consoles moving, but most retailers are reporting a massive channel stuffing of PS4s for BF. Given that the BF rush has seemingly stretched back to Thanksgiving day and forward to Thanksgiving weekend, continued sales (and sellouts) would appear to favor Sony's strategy.

I see. So basically, it doesn't matter which console sells faster. If the PS4 sells out all of its stock, then it has sold more units than the X1.

Reps for stores have been quoted with saying that they ordered 2X-3X more PS$s than X1s. For that to matter, yes, they would have to both sell out.
