That's quickly changing, Sony have now overtaken Nikon to become the number 2 seller of full frame cameras in the US. Nikon doesn't make a single full frame mirrorless camera and Sony most known for making them.

That statistic from Sony's press release feels opportunistic and cherry picked. Nikon have only released one FF camera in that window, and it costs £5,100. Sony released several and have momentum. I think when the successors to the D810 and D750 are released Nikon will pull ahead slightly.

In the longer term, mirrorless will overtake and pull further ahead of DSLR.

Sony didn't release any FF mirrorless in that period, in fact the latest FF mirrorless was released Sept 2015. I suspect it was the US discounts at that time.
