I think the hype for the One S is finally waning and people are realizing that it's really not this special upgrade many think it is. The 1 Tb and 500 tb aren't rising much, and the 2 tb is falling slowly. It should have a great month with preorders alone though

I'd wait a week or so before making that assumption.

PS4 is ahead of the Xbox One slim in the hourly's now... I wasnt expecting to see that.
From reading comments ahead I see its been that way for the last 15+ hours?

Yeah the 2TB was never going to be the main seller, even if the 500GB gets off to a slow start (I don't think it will) it will be strong over the holiday with potential $250 slim deals black Friday.

Oh, so now this is becomed a fight of who has more sales data hu!?

TAKE THIS!!!!!!!!!!

*epic muthuffka nigga graph*

Seems we have mostly identical data for the Jan.-Oct period. I have a few months that differ from yours by only 1k, which on a graph really doesn't matter (it won't even move the data point a single pixel). I also have a few months were the data is rounded to the nearly hundred instead of the nearest thousand, but when rounded to the nearest thousand it comes out the same. There are however several holiday month with a noticeable difference. I have Dec. '06 at 1100k, Nov. 2010 at 1370k, and Nov. 2011 at 1700k. The figures you have for the latter two are corroborated by a post Aqua made on GAF several years ago, but the 1132k figure for Dec. '06 doesn't appear to be corroborated by anything I can find. Every source I can find for Dec. 2006 NPD gives the 360 a figure of 1100k.

As you said all November sales are from Aqua, so they are correct.

I don't remember when i saw that 1,132,000 from December 2006 though... but if i have used that figure surely i saw it somewhere.
