Hardware:
PS4: #1 best selling
Xbox One: "Nearly double July." They were estimated to be 131K in July. There has been some suggestions that might be their shipment for the month, so we might not want to assume this as a baseline for either the XB1 or PS4.

-“When lining up sales of PS4 and Xbox One after ten months on the market,” said Callahan. “The combined PS4 and Xbox One hardware sales are greater by over 70 percent compared to their predecessors.”
-"PlayStation" (PS4 + PS3) sold more than Nintendo or Microsoft home consoles.
