The OP just wasn't very clear. He's saying that the gap in weekly sales between the systems is closing, not the gap in LTD sales.
Three months ago, the weekly sales numbers of the three platforms looked like this:
PS4 - 176k
XBO - 72k
WiiU - 39k
Giving a proportion of 61%-25%-14%
In the last full June week, they looked like this:
PS4 - 105k
XBO - 65k
WiiU - 60k
Giving a proportion of 46%-28%-26%
To give you a sense of how much of a shift this is, suppose that the total sales for the generation are going to be around 200 million. With the distribution 3 months ago, that puts PS4 at 122 million, XBO at 50 million, and Wii U at 28 million. With the distribution now, it's PS4 at 92 million, XBO at 56 million, and Wii U at 52 million. See the difference?
