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

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/searchpage.jsp?cp=1&searchType=search&nrp=15&seeAll=&browsedCategory=abcat0700000&qp=&ks=960&sp=-bestsellingsort%20skuidsaas&sc=Global&list=y&usc=All%20Categories&type=page&id=pcat17071&iht=n&st=categoryid%24abcat0700000&lid=Products%3A%20All%20New%20Releases

Not accurate. The Madden bundle in Aug sold less than 20k while the COD bundle sold well over 100k but on the best seller for best buy Madden is higher.

Yearly (4 days since last update)

#21 / Pokémon moon (up 3)
#24 / Pokémon sun (up 3)
#42 / Pokémon moon+sun double pack (down 1)

...By end of October, both moon and sun in TOP 20! :D Would be epic if by end of year both will be in TOP 10, with the double pack still in TOP 100.

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.

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 ;)

Not saying that at all. Just saying this huge spike that we see now can be mainly atributed to upgrades rather than new buyers. The same will be said about the ps4 pro, most will be upgrades at the begining. And I dont know the actual charts, just what grible post and its all ps4 at the moment. If all thouse x1 games are charting then my asumption is less acurate cuz I only based it on gribles chart.

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.

lol my idea was to update all new big release in the yearly like COD, Battlefield, Watch Dogs ecc, but as for now only Pokémon showed up, so i only update it... this can mean only 2 things:

1) Pokémon sales will be insane

2) Pokémon sales will be insane :p

 

I'm looking at COD IW VS Pokémon MS as the best selling game of the year

I think this is likely to be just a blip. I can't see the slump I predicted happening this early.
