The best part is to say that Nintendo is closer to Sony on LTD than MS is to Nintendo while the numbers would be PS4 = WiiU +1.8M = (X1+1.8M)+1.8M... meaning that the difference between PS4 and WiiU is equal to X1 to WiiU and worst is that X1 is closing the distance to WiiU and PS4 is pulling from it, so that is even more idiotic than say the race is close...
Maybe he is using Formula 1 terms... At then end of a F1 race (1h30 duration) the first place is "close to the last place" even if he laps him twice (let's say a 3 min advantage in a 90 min race is 3,33% difference)... for someone looking at the "total time" the last place doesn't seem to have done so bad, but for anyone with half a brain, he can say that the race was a no contest.
Imagine now putting in F1 terms the difference WiiU and PS4 have... let's say 90 min to make the 60 laps is equal to WiiU 6.3 M in sales... so PS4 would be 70 min to make the race meaning that WiiU would basically be 13 laps lagging. If we remember that Nintendo took 16 months to make the race to 6M and Sony took 4 months, we would see that actually every lap Nintendo gives in the track, Sony already finished 4. So there is no way to think "WiiU LTD is close to PS4 LTD" while ignoring everything.
Next comment will be that Wii LTD is close to PS LTD, so WiiU and PS4 are selling about the same.
