As of earlier today the Xbox One was the number 1 product on Amazon, two spots ahead of the PS4. I'd say that's a decent indicator of actual consumer sentiment.



The PS4 has been number one on that chart for most of the past week, despite being split up into multiple launch bundles. (I think yesterday was the first time the Xbox had reached number one since E3.) I've been checking that list, and it's my main evidence for the fact that consumers have actually been favoring Sony so far.


Every electronics retailer in my area sold out of launch PS4s close to immediately. They still have launch Xbox Ones for sale, and indeed I got a pitch from Microsoft themselves for it today.

That doesn't say that much, as we don't know the actual numbers, but of course on Amazon the PS4 absolutely owned the charts, and the only reason they don't now is the sales "split" between a number of bundles.
