Is there a reason you guys keep bringing up Bestsellers for the HOUR, when the difference in sales could be just a few units and changes constantly?  I mean you've been doing it for months, but who always comes out on top when it is said and done?  It's MUCH better to look at Bestsellers for the year or month.  Of course, you're also forgetting to add in the PS4 Bundle, which has been selling like crazy since it was put up for pre-order.  Not just a few hours or days, but weeks and months. 

Most importantly, however, the One is only doing decently in the US and the UK, it's pretty much dead everywhere else.  So, which console do you think is going to come out ahead in EU when it comes to Destiny sales?  Then, you have another few 10Ks, maybe a 100K if it does well, for Japan in PS4's favor.

lol bias?

If I enter the thread, yea.  And like I said, you seem to continually forget to add in the PS4 bundle.  Let's look at those months you listed.  In July, the One version outsold the PS4 by one spot.  HOWEVER,  the PS4 bundle is at #24, beating the Xbox One by 22 spots.  And if we look at August, while the One beat the PS4 version by 8 spots, the PS4 bundle moved up to #11, beating the One by 38 SPOTS!!  Of course, if we look at June, too, we see that the PS4 version outsold the One version by 26 spots, which probably equalizes the past two months, if not still puts it ahead.  The PS4 bundle was also at #23, beating the One by 26 spots.

This is impressive/important for 2 reasons.  1) The PS4 has had so many people holding off buying it for those months, instead waiting to get it in Sept with Destiny, and yet the PS4 still easily beat the One in those months.  This suggests HW for the PS4 is going to be crazy in Sept.  And 2) The same thing holds true for Destiny SW.  The bundle has diverted SW sales from the standalone disc, yet the PS4 Destiny still is either ahead of the One version, or not too far behind.  This suggests SW sales, while including the bundle, are also going to be crazy.  And this is for the US, EU is going to be even more lopsided.
