Owww well, so much about people being childish for calling VGC on the X1 overtracking... and For people that want to calculate just use the estimate on the http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2014-05-15-titanfall-ps4-drive-us-game-sales-up-17-percent-in-april-npd "Sales of combined X1+PS4 more than doubled X360PS3 for the first 6 months".

Do anyone have the real numbers of NPD for the first 6 months of each?

X360 PS3
Nov - 305,237 196,672
Dec - 258,045 471,090
Jan - 228,761 200,469
Feb - 163,017 131,936
Mar - 183,539 143,839
Apr - 270,286 83,976

Total - 1,408,885 1,227,982

X1 PS4
Nov - 969,058 1,190,979
Dec - 963,807 889,834
Jan - 169,062 295,963
Feb - 233,740 259,941
Mar - 318,663 345,110
Apr - 217,589 212,096

Total - 2,871,919 3,193,923
Growth - 103,8% 160%
(MS PR have it at 76%)

Total Growth - 130% (Link says more than doubled)

So How "shit" are the numbers for X360 and PS3 on the site for the first 6 months in USA?

Now using real NPD data for X1 PS4

X1 PS4
Nov - 909k 1,145k
Dec - 908k 863k
Jan - 141k 271k
Feb - 258k 285k
Mar - 311k 371k
Apr - 115k 230k (going on the 2:1 rumour)

Total - 2,642k 3,165k
VGC (230k overtacked) (28k undertracked)
growth of 87,5% (so maybe X360 numbers for the first 6 months are undetracked???)

Total growth of 120%

Best info we have so far puts PS4 at 198k-202k for April NPD, so VGC may be spot on.

I have just put a thread on the first 6 months... I used the total of 3.11M to guesstimate April, so I already corrected 230k, kudos for VGC for getting PS4 right this month, but overal it is depressing... visit it.
