We can make some assumptions about outside the UK/US.
US Xbox sales in the quarter UP yoy from NPD's
UK Xbox sales in the quarter UP from PAL/MCV info
Worldwide Xbox Sales in the quarter DOWN yoy - from MS financial's
The only way those 3 match up is if the ROW Xbox sales are down, so down they even cancel out the US and UK gains.
This is in the same quarter that the S launched so including Pre orders, and that only Xbox Bundle (FIFA) that will appeal to Europe was released.
That aside, outside of its launch month, there is zero chance a premium console in the Pro will sell more then the S, even worldwide.
Alot of the PS4 gains are in new markets/less developed for consoles where the Xbox simply isn't, thus i think they'll be more inclined to go with the more price conscious choice of the slim, especially as it continues to reduce in price into next year.
Well, the 500GB and 1TB XB1S only had 2 weeks of sales in Europe and was only in 4 countries for 6 weeks (New Zealand, US, Australia, and Canada).
In fact as of right now MS has only supplied the XB1S to 25 out of the 42 countries they have launched in.

Austria
Belgium
Canada
Czech Republic
Denmark
Finland
France
Germany
Greece

This is missing big markets for the Xbox One such as the complete lack of Latin America and nothing in Asia or the Middle East. So while 25 countries got resupplied with the XB1S, every other country is just selling the regular XB1.
You got me there!But it's a prediction thread...
In the Americas, the XB1S will sell more. Europe I have no idea.
