PS4 has 2 Sku's on the first page and xbox has one. Xbox is behind

But how does that add up? XB1 could be 10,000 and the two PS4 SKU's could be 8,000 combined.

You can't say one way or another with 100% confidence. Logically one PS4 skew outsold the Xbox One skew.  Now we have two different skews, one neck and neck with the Xbox One and a brand new skew on the first page.

For all we know it could be 10,000 Xbox One, 9,000 PS4 and 8,000 PS4. We don't know the difference between any of the splits, but we do know when the PS4 was outselling the Xbox One when their was only one PS4 skew that offerred less value for the money. Logically it's more likely that PS4 overall sales>Xbox One overall sales.  I think it's going to take a couple days to get the true picture. Unless the new bundle really outperforms the Xbox One, in that case it'd be much quicker. Right now I can't even buy the bundle at 15, it says coming soon which is holding back sales.
