The XB1S is now #62 on the 2017 rankings, which take into account sales up to yesterday. I tried to backtrack the thread to see how fast the PS4 rose. After 1 day, the PS4 hit #98 while the XB1S didn't enter the Top 100 after Thursday. After 2 days, the PS4 was very close behind the XB1X. I would guess after their respective sales began, the PS4 sold at a faster pace than the XB1S, but both sold very well regardless.
It should be noted that the PS4 was sold out before Thanksgiving on Amazon which will skew the perception of how well it's doing overall. Based on Benji and Abdiel's assessments, the PS4 had a lot of stock though even then, it sold out by the end of yesterday. Overall, I think the BF weekend will look like this:
XB1S > PS4 online
PS4 > XB1S on B&M |
Yea, going by the insiders, plus what others have seen, I think we are going to see XBO win slightly online, but PS4 win big at B&M. I'm hoping Sony also gets out another large shipment just for Cyber Monday.

Another thing to point out is GameStop's $349 PS4 Pro deal. This was the 2nd best Pro deal to Amazon's $349 Destiny 2 bundle before that quickly sold out. Reading through Abdiel's assessment again, it looks like the Pro sold better than the X even though it's still $399 at Best Buy.
