If the software charts is acurate and gears is the only x1 game in the top 100, then yea, the x1s is mainly selling to x1 owners who want to upgrade. Not suprised.  people bought multiple 360's last gen and it all counted to the total and people claimed it was still hed to hed with the ps3.

To a certain extent the same thing can be said about the Pro but because it's three times more powerful than the XB1s I'd say it's also selling to new customers, some who already had the OG XB1 and some that are only just now buying a console. We also have to take into consideration that this is without any major deals or advertising at the moment. If the PS4 takes October (and it clearly will take November), I can't see any way that the XB1 can take December. In fact, when you look at Q1 2017, I can't see how the XB1 is going to take any month that year leading up to the Scorpio's launch. The further we get into the year the more compelling it gets to buy a PS4 or wait for the Scorpio.

You are right, the pro will actually appeal more to x1 owners than ps4 owners, specially with the surge of great titles about to hit the ps4 exclusive list.
