Talking to many dealers in the UK then yes, the PA4x has outsold the T5 by 2 -1, much like the Technics KN7000 did to T1, however the T5 sales have been lacklustre, (Many ditching them and going back to T4 or other manufactures) the bestselling was the T3 which built on the T2 which at the time put all the other arranger manufactures in the shade.
There were some problems and missing features in the T3 which were fixed by the T4, however a lot of folks still stuck with the T3.
If you go into any dealer or festival, you will find most folks are interested in the S970 and a used Tyros. (The T5 gets pretty much side-lined these days, with no firm commitment as to when a replacement will arrive either)

numbers dont lie.......someone paid for the T5 disaster at Yamaha, they shot themselves in the foot, ....not too mention how many loyalists players switched camp and with good reason never to return...if whenever Yamaha returns it will be a very different direction hold on to your hats!!!
Numbers dont lie... yamaha claims to have sold more Tyros 5 in the UK then any model before that... espescially the 76 key was a huge succes...
This claim is comming from Yamaha demonstrators...
But last year sales started dropping, which offcourse is not unusuall as instruments get older..
Korg pa4x selling better then yamaha? Yes, but only because everyone that wants and can afford a Tyros 5 allready has one..
I allways keep a close eye on the dutch used market.... barely ever there is a tyros 5 for sale... i was at a Pa4x demo earlier this week, most people there where tyros players... and from their comments it was obvious why they where tyros players.... i still believe the typical arranger home player is still best served with a yamaha tyros 5...
I dare state that most people active on these forums are not the typical european Tyros 5 arranger players...
