We should all just wait until the results come out, but even so, Dark_Feanor's initial comment was just plain weird. I mean he was the one who frequently said to not extrapolate Amazon's rankings to the entire market. However, he then proceeds to break his own rule. And then there's the part where he left out the Pro charting really high on Sunday and Cyber Monday, one of the busiest buying periods of December NPD, to the point it sold out on Amazon.

Oh, really?

I don't check the rank very often. I saw the rank only at BF and a little on saturday. I kept quite those days waiting for someone do the math.

 

I also give Sony and MS ample time for a PR statement reguarding sales. Specially curious about the Pro.

 

Now I belive it is safe to say that Pro sales have been a fraction of PS4 and XO só far.

 

I might end up wrong, but Im not pulling straws.

This year, Sony tends to release PR whenever they feel like doing it. The PS4 has won a few NPD months, but Sony didn't release any PR despite it winning. There were a few people who insinuated that UC4 didn't meet expectations because Sony didn't release PR immediately after launch. That turned out to be false.

That is the fundamental difference between Sony and Microsoft when it comes to PR. There is no precedent where MS does not release PR when its console wins. This is why I weigh Microsoft's silence more than Sony's silence: precedent.
