When you do the math, last years sales of 360/PS3/Wii U were roughly 350,703. Let's multiply that by .56 and we get 196,393. Now we add the two numbers and we get 540,793. Wii U is estimated at 69k, which leaves us with 478096 between PS4 and X1. We know PS4 won the month but we don't know by how much. There's a start. A great first October for both. Bottom line: combined, they're up 70 in sales their first year compared to their predecessors. Good stuff. November is gonna be huge for both. Again, this isn't 100% obviously, but it's a snapshot. |
Unfortunately for your math, the percentages NPD uses are based on revenue, not units sold.
