As I said last time. They aren't closing the gap. PS4 is still outselling both the Xbox One and Wii U every week. Gap between them is still getting wider every week.

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?

thank you for explaining that. i chose to only explain it to the first person who responded in the original thread, and again in the OP of this new thread, and i refuse to explain it to every single user who brings it up.
