A small update, a few months later:
Position Title Score Number of ratings Release date Sales award 3 Shadowrun: Cutting Black 3.5/5 4 January 17, 2020 Silver (Tier 2 - 100-250) 60 Shadowrun: Free Seattle 4.0/5 1 December 11, 2019 Silver (Tier 2 - 100-250) 71 Shadowrun, Sixth World Core Rulebook 2.7/5 46 August 26, 2019 Platinum (Tier 5 - 1000-2000)
It's notable that the sales tier award hasn't moved. If this post is accurate, this implies SR6 CRB is selling fewer than nine copies per day, on average (<1000 sales in 116 days.)

Another update for you below, expanded to include all the main 6e books:
Position Title Score #ratings Release date Sales award 2 Firing Squad 1.0/5 2 2020/05/26 Silver (Tier 2 - 100-250) N/A 6e CRB 2.6/5 49 2019/08/26 Platinum (Tier 5 - 1000-2000) N/A Free Seattle 4.0/5 1 2019/12/11 Electrum (Tier 3 - 250-500) N/A 30 Nights 3.0/5 2 2020/03/04 Electrum (Tier 3 - 250-500) N/A Cutting Black 3.6/5 9 2020/01/17 Electrum (Tier 3 - 250-500)
(Position refers to the title's current place in the top 100 on DTRPG, as of the day of this post. "N/A" means it was not inside the top 100.)
* In the last 8.5 months, the 6e CRB has garnered fewer than 1000 sales on DTRPG.
* In the last 4.5 months, it has received three reviews/ratings, reducing its average score from 2.7 to 2.6.
* Free Seattle appears to have sold fewer than 400 copies on DTRPG in the last 4.5 months.
Tecumseh:
Thanks for the update. This is interesting. I hadn't realized that sales awards were public.
I'll note that the German version of the 6E core rulebook also has a Platinum award (same as English), and the score is 4.6/5 across 12 reviews. Does anyone know if the rules are materially different? Presumably the editing was tightened up during translation.
I wonder how frequently the Top 100 rankings are updated. Evidently a Silver award (100-249) will earn you the #2 position across two weeks (Firing Squad's release date of May 28th to June 8th, today).

Caveat: the "metal tiers" part is public but the corresponding number of sales is not. For that, I am relying on this post from an insider. There's no obvious reason to disbelieve that source, and when I googled it last year I found a couple of corroborating sources, but still: take it with a grain of salt.

There's a detailed thread somewhere on reddit comparing them (look for u/D4rvill). The rules aren't significantly different, I'd say, but they were (apparently) clearer on some points. I'd also argue Pegasus enjoys a much better reputation than Catalyst does, and probably gets more benefit of the doubt as a result.

I haven't been able to work that out. I think it changes quite frequently, daily or every few days. But it could be calculated on a longer time period's worth of sales; a sort of moving average, if you will.
