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.

^ this.

Overall though I think its safe to say all 3 had a good black friday, and probably a great November (im guessing its higher than last 2 years was).

Prediction or insider knowledge?

It has to be a prediction, dont think anyone actually knows yet.

As people have been asking just how fast the $199 PS4 climbed the charts, to compare to the $189 X1S, I combed through the thread and compiled that information. Note that the PS4 was sold out for most of "Day 4:"

Monthly
Day 1: #58 to #13
Day 2: #13 to #9
Day 3: #9 to #5
Day 4 (sold out): #5 to #4

Yearly
Day 1: Unranked to #98
Day 2: #98 to #71
Day 3: #71 to #54
Day 4 (sold out): No Data

So the S sold more in the last two days compared to the PS4 in its first two days at $199. Was to be expected since yesterday was black Friday. I'm interested in seeing where it ends up on tomorrow's update.

That's hard to tell, because the S climbed at a slower rate and is currently at #10 on the monthly. It hasn't cracked #5 yet, and, once a system hits top 10, it has to sell at an insane volume to beat out the cards and software. Keep in mind that the X1S didn't rise nearly as fast in the monthlies.

For reference, the $199 PS4 currently sits at #6, and the $189 X1S is at #10.

Are you an insider or just precicting. Can't just randomly drop this without any context.

I guess I missed a day in my memory.  Though, you shouldn't leave Day 4 blank.  The PS4 sits at #50, now, on the yearlies, so it went up 4 more spots on Day 4.

I fixed Day 4. I'll also provide the XB1S's progression for the yearly.

Lol, he's probably just in the wrong thread.  Maybe he means to post in the "Who gets 1st/2nd/3rd" one.

I went through every post and couldn't find a contemporaneous reference, so I figured it best to leave it blank than use the current raking of #50.

With trailing averages being what they are, missing that interim ranking is as crucial as it is unfortunate.

I tried, man. I really tried lol.

Where did you pull that from?

I found discrepancies between daily posts and Shadow's summaries.
