So both "flagship" slim bundles are sold out on Amazon, The Uncharted 4 slim and the Halo 5/MCC bundle, Could be Amazon are holding off the stock to sell all other stock before the new big shooter bundles arrive and pushing people towards the Pro pre-order.

The Halo 5 bundle was never intended to be a holiday bundle. That are the BF1, Minecraft and Gears 500GB bundles
About the UC4 slim sku, i'm not sure. It's either phasing out, too and will be replaced by a COD:IW (without the remaster) bundle, or Amazon just stopped selling it, to get rid of the UC4 limited edition bundle first.    
I do think the latter one is far more unlikely and would only happen if Sony, as the manufacturer asked to do so. otherwise amazon just want to sell stuff and would never stop selling a newer item to get rid of old unsold stock. they just lower the price (further)

Because of many versions of consoles being sold out currently on Amazon.com, a place like bestbuy would be a better indication of how things are selling right now IMO (I stopped at #30):

#5 PS4s UC4 bundle
#9 XB1s-2tb Gears Bundle
#14 XB1s-1tb Madden Bundle
#25 PS4 BLOPS3 Bundle
#27 XB1s-500GB Halo Bundle

best place would be gamestop, because they have neraly 50% marketshare. but their bestseller list is not accurate at all, like all other retailer.



It's all about trends and what's selling over the course of a month. I find GS and BB charts fairly accurate since i've been using them.

It's still too early to call [< - note this bit carefully] but Gears dropping more than the OG PS4 and the Pro rising, while the PS4s is out of stock, shows us a the 'trend' is now clearly in favour of the PS4 winning Oct. I wouldn't want to pin this on PSVR but at the same time I wouldn't want to dismiss the possibility.

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.



It takes genuine talent to see greatness in yourself despite your absence of genuine talent.

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.

so no new customer will buy a ps4 pro just people who upgrade and buy multiple ps4s
also: gears is not the only x1 game in top 100. bf1, cod, mafia, fallout, forza, nba, madden, skyrim, wwe, doom, gta and battlefront are all xb1 games in the top 100

 

but you don't have to be worried about people buying multible xb1s. ulike sony, ms is reporting active user numbers. so it does not matter, if a customer is buying just one, there or even 10 consoles. he will be countet as just one aktive user ;)
